LETTER TO POLICYHOLDERS FROM THE PRESIDENT.
NEW YORK; December 14th, 1905. TO THE POLICYHOLDERS:
HAD hoped to make some statement to you before this, but have believed it was best to wait until I could give you a final con clusion in regard to the financial condition of the Society based on full investigation. This explains the delay in communicating with you. On June 9th fast, under the condition that I should have full power as to men and methods, and with no pledges of any kind to any one, I was elected by the Directors of the Society as CHAIRMAN of the BOARD, and at once assumed the active management of tho Society's affairs.
Soon after I was elected PRESIDENT-of the SOCIETY and the Office of Chairman was abolished
One of the first acts of my administration was the employment of Messrs. Price, Waterhouse & Company, chartered-nccountants-of-Great Britain and New York, and Measts. Haskins
Sells, coniñted, public accumutants of New York, to investigate the affairs of the Society. under directions to render complete and ex- haustive reports on the following subjects:
f. The Society's annual expenses, including legal expenses, advertising expenses, agency expenses, and cost of securing business.
2 The real estate investments of the Com. pooy, including in the case of each parcel the value at which it is carried upon the books of the Society; the income which it yields; and the fair valuation of the property, whether above or below the value at which it is carried upna the books of the Society, (if necessary, real estate experts may be employed in as certaining the value and income of the real estale, subject, of course, to my approval as 10 .men and terms).
3. The other investments of the Society; their character; and the circumstances under which they have been made.
4. The Society's surplus and the manner in which it is carried upon the books of the Society.
5. The methods of keeping the Society's accounts, and the respects in which its account- ing may be improved.
6. The relations between the Society and the trust companies, banks, safe deposit companies, and other institutious with which the Society is affiliated by ownership of considerable amount of stock or otherwise. (In the case of every corporation in which the Society has a dominant or important interest, or with which the Society has special relations, the owner- ship of stock other than that owned by the Society should be ascertained so far as. practi- cable).
7. The subjects covered by the report of the Investigating Committee of which Mr. Frick was Chairman should be fully investigated.
8. When the report of the New York Super intendent of Insurance has been made that report should be carefully studied and every matter covered by it or by the recommendations of the Commissioner should be carefully exam ined.
Subsequently a still more elaborate plan of investigation was agreed upon with these accountants, and I doubt if any American' in- surance company ever before had such an exhaustive examination.
It has taken a large force of men five months to ascertain the exact financial status of the Society, now fully exposed by the balance sheet transmitted with the following note and repro- duced on pages 6 and 7.
New York, November 25th, 1975. Mr. PAUL. MORTON; President,
The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, 120, Broadway, New York. DEAR SIR-The exhaustive examination which we have made of the affairs of the Equit able Life Assurance Society of the United States is so far completed, that we are now, able to furnish you with a Balance Sheet show. ing the true Financial Position of the Society o0 September 30th, 1905.
The Assets of the Society as claimed were all found to be on hand, and amounted in value to $116,165,500.10 as shown by the Balance Sheet,
The Surplus over and above all Liabilities amounted to G 57,142,855 41.
A conservative revaluation of the Assels, in- cluding a re-appraisal of all the real estate owned by the Society or covered by mortgages held by the Society, has resulted in a reduc tion in certain of the values adopted in the Society's last Annual Report, principally in Real Estate and in Stocks of certain financial institutions.
Yours very truly, (Signed) PRICE, WATERHOUSE & CO.

(Signed) HASKINS & SELLS,

by ELIJAH W. SELLS, C.P.A.
You will be gratified to learn:
(1) That all the assets claimed by the Society. are on hand, are of a high grade, and are con- servatively worth G $416,166,500,10,
(2) Thai, over and above all liabilities, the surplus is G $67,142,865.41, about seven- eighths of which is a fund for division among existing deferred dividend policies at the end of their accumulation periods,
(3) That the reduction in the book value of our assets and surplus is caused by a revalua. tion on'a conservative basis, and in no way reduces the income of the Society.
The decrease in the value of assets in chiefly in real estate which was carried at prices too high, and in shares of certain financial institu- tions which were carried at market prices based on transactions, which were deemed by the accountants to be excessive.
RETRENCHMENT.
"
Economies amounting to G $600,000 00 a year have already been introduced, which if capitalized on a four per cent, basis would be equivalent to an additional investment of over G $15,000,000. This more than covers the marking down of assets. I expect to institute till further economies of a radical character, RESTITUTION.
Under the past management transactions involving the expenditure of large sums of money have been carried through frequently without any proper authority of the Board of Directors and with very meagre bookkeeping records, so that it has been difficult in many instances to secure explanation of certain tran sactions which have taken place during the last ten years, some of which involve a financial Ioss' to the Society,
The liabilities disavowed by the Society, and the amounts restored to the Society approxi mate G $1,000,000, and legal proceedings have been instituted for the recovery of considerable addişlonai sumu,

It will be the policy of the new administra tion of the Society to insist on an independent audit of its accounts as to its fiscal condition, once each year, the result of which will be published.

trust; and Directors are now.nominated by the trustees-Hon, Grover Cleveland, Justice Mor gan ). O'Brien, and Mr. George Westinghouse! Thirteen Directors are chosen annually, and the Trustees will each year offer an oppor tunity to the policyholders to express their pre. ferences in respect of the choice of Directors.
POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS,
It will be the policy of the Society hereafter not to make contributions to political cam- paigns. It is my opinion that we have no right to use the funds of the Society for any such purpose.
REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES.
In the last ten years this Society has loaned over G $120,000,000 on real estate mortgages, mostly in large cities. Only to six of these cases has it had to take property under forc closure and in these six instances the property. was sold so as to net a profit. It will continue to be the policy of the Society to make invest ments of this description.
tr
COST OF INSURANCE.
+
The very essence of life insurance is safety and this can be secured only-by-reasonable premiums.
A great many Equitable policyholders are doubtless asking themselves the question whether it will pay them to continue their policies. To such I wish 10,say most emphati- cally that my investigation of the affairs of the Society has convinced me that there is no cheaper way for the policyholders of the Equitable to have sound life insurance than by retaining their policies. As I have pointed out, the surplus of over G. $67,000,000, are safely invested upon a basis which returns an valuations, and I expect in due time to accom- excellent rate of interest upon the revised plish such economies that the cost of adminis tration and securing new businese will be reduced to the lowest possible basis consistent with safety and efficiency. 1, accordingly, believe that by continuing your policies in the Equitable you will receive life insurance at the lowest cost consistent with safely.
1 therefore advise you to continue to pay your premiums; to allow your policies to lapre will be doing yourselves injustiça. Your con- tracts with this Society are as safe and sound as anything carthly can be. Where lapses have already occurred the agents of the Society will cheerfully'assist in restoring policies.
EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES IN 1905.
I congratulate you and all policyholders in solvent concerns on the reformatory results of the agitation of the past year. This Society alone has undergone four separate investiga- tions since January 1st. The extraordinary legal and other expense entailed thereby is amply compensated for by the enforced restitutions and checked waste herein above referred to and by the final assurance you now have of the wealth and solvency of your Society, I am convinced that this and other investigations and the resulting stimulation of discussion have attracted public attention to the impregnable strength of established concerns like the Equitable more effectually than could have been done by any other ineans. While these investigations may have been destructive of individum reputations, the utility of life in surance has been more fully demonstrated than ever before.
There will be no effort by the new adminis tration to have the biggest company in the world; the effort will be to make it the best and safest. Conservative lines will be followed, it will be the policy ant to solicit or secure' new business at the expense of the present policy. holders, and in case it is determined that husiness in any section of the world is unpro. fitable, that field will be abandoned.
Over 98 per cent. of our death claims are settled within 24 hours after proof of death is received, and since January 1st, 1905, through all of the agitation concerning life insurance, this Society alone has paid out in death claims and benefits of other kinds over G. $116,799 every working day.
Assuring you that if will be my constant endeavour to conduct the affair of this Society in a manner that will merit your hearty appro bation, l-am;~~-~~-~-
Very truly yours,
'es.....
PAUL MORTON, President.
