Brooklyn City Rafroad. 1900 Sixth
Avenue Railroad and block OF Chicago
and Northwestern.
The relation of the Mutual LIES af-
fairs to the housing shortage was
brought out through the testimony of
Henry Mendes, the committees expert
accountant, who showed that while the
company was buying speculative securi-
ties other than Government war issues
in the market during the period be-
tween 1911 and 1921. when its assets in
creased from S573000.00 to $671 ,000-
600. the proportion of its resources IN
vested in mortgage loans dropped from
24.52 per cent in 1911 to 1854 on De-
cember 81. 1920. The decline in volume
of this class of investment by the Mu-
tual had been constant from 1911 to
1919. with 1920 showing an increase of
approximately 100000 over the pre-
vious year. During this period il was
shown the Mutual had purchased Gov
ernment war bonds Of n face value of
SIG. .000, 900 at cost of SIS, 121 900, and
bonds OF foreign Governments, including
some of the German Empire and Italian
and Spanish Governments, amounting to
S509,1SS
Emphasizing what he asserts has been
the effect upon the housing situation Of
a policy such as the Mutual was shown
to have followed Mr.. Untermyer had the
record of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance Company's investments in bonded
mortgages put into the record as a con-
trasting element. IL showed that the
Metropolitan in 1905 had S3S, ,062. 900 in
vested in this class of security; that
every year this amount had increased
until in 1920 the Metropolitan had $751;
100000 invested in mortgages on real
estate. On the other hand the Mutual
was shown to have had 9.771. 900 so
vested in 1905 and only s104. .307 900 in
1920 The Mutuars average return on
it's mortgage investments for the period
between 1906 and 1919 was shown to
have been 40 per cent. as against 4.73
per cent. on bonds and stocks.
Mr.. Untermyer questioned the proprie-
ty OF the insurance companies using
company funds for the maintenance of
the Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents and according to the committee s
verdict, scored heavily over Mr.. Pea
body in the colloquy that followed. He
asked the Mutuals asident if the
amount contributed foi hat purpose by
his company was larse. Mr.. Peabody
replied that what might appear large to

---' Anything that Is thrown away seems
large to me-" Mr. Peabody explained.
"Ah. see." said Mr.. Untermyer.
then what you lost by not selling some
OF these stocks the Mutual has been
carrying must seem enormously large to
you"
Before the committee went into the
Mutual Life Insurance Company's af-
fairs, Mr.. Untermyer had put into the
record more analytical testimony from
the committees accountants showing
the proportion of assets invested In saw
ings banks throughout the State in
bonded mortgages. The average. COM
pared with total investments. for l41
banks 4S.94 per cent. The highest hon
orsgwent to savings banks In Sag Har-
Dor and Riverhead. which showed in
vestments OF So per cent in this class
of security. The highest in New York
city was the Union Dime Savings Bank
which showed $500 per cent
The committees accountant also read
into the record the result of an analy-
sis of 1.400 leases of tenants in the
Equitable Building at 120 Broadway.
This is where Mr.. Untermyer has his
own offices. but In no case did the
name of any tenant come out during the
recital of rent advances demanded by
the Equitable Office Building Corpora
ton since the building opened in 1915.
A half dozen or more examples were
taken of leases which showed for the
current year advances ranging from
moderate to as high as 173 per cent.
1t was testified by George t. Mortimer,
president of the operating corporation
that the aggregate rentals for the cur
rent year amount to about $4,000, 900.
There is a $40 1000 000 mortgage on the
building. running for a long term and
which is being amortized from revenues.
1t carries an indeterminate rate of in
terest amounting to about per cent.
In connection with the increased rentals
a second table showing increased oper-
ating expenses also was put into the
record. These were shown to have ad-
vanced from S2,716,000 for the year
ending April 80, 1917, to $3.354,o00 for
the year ending April 30 last.
The United States Government, it
was shown by Mr.. Mortimers testimony
was not affected by this increase of
operation as the Federal Reserve Bank,
which occupies large premises on the
ground floor and various Offices through
out the building. took a long term
lease when the building opened.
The hearing will continue to-day.
