DMC Tax-Free Income Trust - Pennsylvania
One Commerce Square
Philadelphia, Pa.  19103

          Re:  Rule 24f-2 Notice

Gentlemen:

          You have informed us that, in accordance with Rule 24f-2
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940
Act"), DMC Tax-Free Income Trust - Pennsylvania (the "Trust")
intends to file a Rule 24f-2 Notice with the U. S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, setting forth, among other things, that for
the fiscal year ended February 28, 1995, the aggregate public
offering price of its shares sold was $97,751,946, and the Notice
will make definite such amounts of shares of beneficial interest
registered by the Trust under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "1933 Act"), for such period.  You have also informed
us that all of such shares and fractions were issued in accordance
with the provisions relating thereto in the registration statement
filed by the Trust under the 1933 Act.

          We have acted as legal counsel to the Trust, which is
organized as a common law trust under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, during the period of time referred to above and
have reviewed the Trust's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust
dated February 28, 1977; its Procedural Guidelines; its
registration statements under the 1940 and 1933 Acts; and such
minutes of the proceedings of the Trustees and other documents as
we deem material to our opinion.

          Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that all of
the shares of beneficial interest of the Trust described in the
Rule 24f-2 Notice as having been sold during the period covered by
the Notice, were legally issued, fully-paid and non-assessable
shares of beneficial interest of the Trust.  Under Pennsylvania
law, shareholders of the Trust, under certain circumstances, may be
held personally liable as partners for the obligations of the
Trust.  The Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust contains an
express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations
of the Trust and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given
in each agreement, obligation or instrument entered into or
executed by the Trust or the Trustees of the Trust.  This
disclaimer may not be effective in some jurisdictions or as to
certain types of claims.  The Amended and Restated Declaration of
Trust for the Trust provides for indemnification out of the Trust
property of any shareholder held personally liable for the
obligations of the Trust.  You have advised us that a discussion of
the existence of potential shareholder liability for obligations of
the Trust is set forth in the current Prospectus (or Statement of
Additional Information) of the Trust which forms a portion of its
registration statement under the 1933 Act.

          We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the
U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit or
accompaniment to the aforementioned Rule 24f-2 Notice and as an
exhibit to the Trust's registration statement and to the reference
to us in the prospectus of the Trust as legal counsel who have
passed upon the legality of the offering of the shares of
beneficial interest.  We also consent to the filing of this opinion
with the securities regulatory agencies of any states or other
jurisdictions in which the shares of beneficial interest of the
Trust are offered for sale.

                        Very truly yours,

                        STRADLEY, RONON, STEVENS & YOUNG



                        By:   /S/STEVEN M. FELSENSTEIN
