MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF BOSTON. - STEPHEN H. RHODES, ROLAND O. LAMB, President Vice-President WALTON L. CROCKER, I Secretary Report of the Policy Holders' Examining Committee for 1903. The Members of the Committee were: MR. JOHN E. TOULMIN, MR. JEREMIAH WILLIAMS, MR. LUCIAN SWIFT, National Bank of Messrs. Jeremiah Williams & Co., Manager Minneapolis Redemption, Boston, Mass. Wool Merchants, Boston, Mass. Journal Minneapolis, Minn. To the Policyholders of the John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co.: Your Committee, elected at the last Annual Meeting “to examine into the affairs of the Company,” and audit its Statement for the year ending December 31,1902, beg to submit the following report: With the assistance of experienced accountants we have verified each amount appearing in the statement, and have personally compared and examined each individual item. 1. We find the bonds and stocks owned by the Company, and lodged in safety deposit vaults, to consist of conservative and high grade securities, and their values have been duly attested by competent authority., 2. The mortgage loans made by the Company, all of which are first liens, have been carefully placed and are of a substantial kind. 3. Personal loans comprise only those secured by ample and quickly marketable collateral. 4. Loans on the Company’s policies have been checked, and all cash in banks confirmed by the depositories. 5. We have examined the deeds of real estate owned by the Company, and searchingly investigated all other assets. While the examination has been thorough and exacting, each officer of the Company with his assistants has readily and courteously responded for information with full and systematic records of all transactions. The large growth of the Company in the past year, both as respecting general business and surplus, and the intelligent management in keeping apace with this increase, is most gratifying to the Committee, and they congratulate the Policyholders in the following exhibit:
