state under oath in said return that such investments were held by such
corporation at the time and for the period above specified in its own right
and not as trustee, agent, or in any fiduciary capacity or as security for a
loan, or as collateral security for any payment or other purpose. If any

value of the stock debt of the City of Baltimore hereinabove mentioned
held as aforesaid by such corporation between the several classes of stock
according to what said Commission may find to be the taxable value of
each class, and shall apply the deduction herein provided for to the shares,
if any, of each class, taxable in the City of Baltimore.
