Equitable Adopts Savings Bank Plan for Investments
Following the purchase of controlling stock of the Equitable Life by Thomas I Ryan’s syndicate the new regime plans to move investments to a savings bank basis. The change would narrow holdings to real estate mortgages and approved bonds, potentially excluding most stocks and limiting railroad bonds. Grover Cleveland supports the trusteeship of the Equitable stock, while Henry B Hyde’s estate sale closes and James Hazen Hyde receives payment.
