B. The said Board of Trustees shall have complete control of said funds and shall have the power to draw such sums of money from its treasury, to invest such funds in the name of the Board of Trustees of the Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund, in interest-bearing bonds, of the United States of America, of the State of Louisiana, of the City of Baton Rouge, and in stock or other securities of qualified homestead associations operating under the laws of the State of Louisiana, where the investment represented thereby is further secured under the Federal Insurance Plan and provided that no investment of said funds shall be made upon a basis where any part of said investment shall be made without the benefit of such Federal Insurance protection. And all such securities shall be deposited with the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees of the Pension and Relief Fund, and shall be subject to the orders of said Board.
