The Report of the Superintendent of the 
Insurance Department of the State of New 
York, in relation to an examination into the 
affairs of the Society which has just been 
made, concludes as follows : 
“ The examination has been of the most thorough and 
“ searching character, and the Superintendent believes 
“ that no corporation doing an insurance business has 
“ been subjected to severer tests than this Society has, 
“ nothing having been taken for granted, hut every item, 
“ both of assets and liabilities, conscientiously and ex- 
“ haustively scrutinized. To accomplish this, a force of 
“ ten persons, under the Chief Examiner of the Depart- 
“ ment, has been steadily engaged for nearly three 
“ months. The Superintendent is much gratified at bc- 
“ ing able to state that the result of this investigation 
“ shows the complete solvency;of. the Institution ; and 
“ that if the same energy and ability are displayed in its 
“management and conduct from this time, as in the 
“ past, a career of solid commercial prosperity is before it.

“ Superintendent 
The Report of a Committee a Policy-holders 
and Representatives of Policy-holders (after an 
examination extending over a period of more 
than two months, assisted by a full corps of ex¬ 
perts and accountants) concludes as follows: 
“ The business of this Society has been conducted with 
“ energy, ability and system, and its unparalleled growth 
“ since incorporated in 1S59, counting, as it does, nearly 
“ $32,000,000 assets, and about $5,000,000 surplus profits, 
“ according to the Society’s statement, shows uncommon 
“ industry and vigor on the part of its chief officers and 
“ directors, and, in the opinion of this Committeerplaces 
« the Equitable Life Assurance Society in the front rank 
“ of institutions of its kind.” 
“ All of which is respectfully submitted.”
