Morton Will Push Equitable Inquiry Independently
Paul Morton, newly elected chair of the Equitable Life board, seeks a separate comprehensive inquiry. He asks Price Waterhouse and Haskins & Sells to examine June 10, 1905, accounts, real estate values, investments, surplus, accounting methods, relations with banks and trust firms, and to study prior reports. The move signals an independent evaluation beyond Frick and Hendricks investigations.
