NOTHOUGHTYET | ‘OF BUILDING NEW | EQUTABLEHOME, Too hoch Work « Work on Hand in Getting Business Back Into Regular Channels. THINK SECURITIES SAFE. If Destroyed, 100,000 Policies, Bonds and Mortgages Can Easily Be Duplicated. Vor two hours to-day officials of the Bauitable Lite worked to provide work- fag space for the 550 employees whose offices were destroyed by fire. At ond of that time typewriters w Giieking, adding machines were reeling @f their totals and routine business ‘was under way almost a@ though no &iteh had occurred. President Day came with his force of jutives to No. 165 Broadway, where second, third and fourth floors w tekken yesterday as chief offices of company. At 9 o'clock a great, barren Feom on the aecona Moor had only dis- ected wires to indicate it could be for business purposes. Execu- clerks and stenographers stood ee, for half an hour. Then the ter head got busy and in thirty minutes Atty desks had appeared. Fifty @@ployees went to work. Fifty more @aaks followed, and soon the place was @ilively, active centre of industry. When the executives began to take took of what the company would have t@ do and what real damage had been @. One of the first questions was ether the Equitable would sell its OM land, build a new home uptown or Delld a great skyscraper on the site of the 01d bullding at No. 120 Broadway. Bat immediate needs were too serious t@ permit any time to be given to the ding question to-day. E. E. Ritten- se, commissioner of conservation in tip ol bullding was duly made com- joner of conversation in the new @ffices, and al! oMfcial information was centred upon him at the Hazen Build- ing. NO ACTION TO-DAY ON NEW BUILDING. He sald: “There {# no executive meeting set for demands of the moment. Telegrains are vouring in from ail parts of the coun- try. The task of getting the routine bus.ness in order 1s immense, and I do not expect any action will be taken to- diy respecting a new bullding. “The law provides that an insurance company may only erect a building for the proper use of its own business, I de not think this law would be con- strued to mean that the compa net erect an office bullding #0 might meet the interest on the invest- ment. That is a matter for the de- cision of the State officials. But I do not regard it as standing in the way og erecting @ great building in even: the company decides to take this action.” Qhiet interest centred upon the 100,000 Pelicies upon which loans had been made and which were in the vaults of | the old building. Many inquiries had been made about these policies. htest idea,” said | a that the vaults were intact and ‘we believe their contents are all right. But even if this is not the case, the of the policies will ental no more us trouble than the mere clerical labor of replacing them. We have a e@omplete history of each of the policies @ card index file and they can be without any trouble. The owmers of these policies need fear noth- tag with respect to their property.

They called for a wixty- two-story building, to cont $25,000,000, 1n- cluding the ground, The plans were filed June 9, 198, and the building then | || suggested was a wonder of architecture. | Tt was designed to riso MY feet above | the curb line, or 200 feet higher than | the Metropolitan Tower, The temporary quarters at the city | i) Investing Company's } to accommodate all tl old house, 01 ng are ample employees from yy one-fifth of the!
