Your committee on resolutions submits the following:

(1) RESOLVED, that it is the sense of this meeting that it is in the interest of society that the intimate and direct relationship of attorney and client shall be preserved, and that corporate or lay practice of law is destructive of that relationship and tends to lower the standard of professional responsibility;

(2) RESOLVED, FURTHER, that Trust Companies, while performing proper and legitimate functions of a business and fiduciary character, are not constituted or organized for the purpose of furnishing legal advice to clients, drawing wills or furnishing legal services;

(3)

RESOLVED, FURTHER, that a special committee of the State Bar Association be appointed to prepare for the use of state and local bar associations a careful brief of what constitutes practice of the law and what constitutes unlawful and improper practice of the law by laymen or lay agencies, and that said committee report at the next conference.

(4) RESOLVED, that this District Bar Association tender its hearty thanks to Supreme Court Justices Orrin N. Carter and Floyd E. Thompson for their able addresses upon the question of a new constitution, and also to the Bench and Bar of Rock Island County for their hospitality and courtesies extended in entertaining this Association at its present meeting.
