A municipal corporation, 2. A stock corporation, or A stock corporation shall be either 1. A moneyed corporation, 2. A railroad or other transportation corporation, or 3. A business corporation. A non-stock corporation shall be either, 1. A religious corporation, 2. A membership corporation, or 3. Any corporation other than a stock corporation.

A "stock corporation" is a corporation having a capital stock divided into shares, and which is authorized by law to distribute to the holders thereof dividends or shares of the surplus profits of the corporation.

The term "non-stock corporation" includes every corporation other than a stock corporation. |
