Supplementary Report of Independent Auditors
To the Trustees and Beneficial Shareholders
DMC Tax-Free Income Trust - Pennsylvania
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of
DMC Tax-Free Income Trust - Pennsylvania (the Trust) for the year
ended February 29, 1996, we considered the Trusts internal control
structure, including procedures for safeguarding securities, in
order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of
expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply
with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on
the internal control structure.
The management of the Trust is responsible for establishing and
maintaining an internal control structure. In fulfilling this
responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required
to assess the expected benefits and related costs of internal
control structure policies and procedures. Two of the objectives of
an internal control structure are to provide management with
reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that
transactions are executed in accordance with managements
authorization and recorded properly to permit preparation of
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control structure,
errors or irregularities may occur and not be detected. Also,
projection of any evaluation of the structure to future periods is
subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and
operation may deteriorate.
Our consideration of the internal control structure would not
necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control structure
that might be material weaknesses under standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A material
weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of the
specific internal control structure elements does not reduce to a
relatively low level the risk that errors or irregularities in
amounts that would be material in relation to the financial
statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a
timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their
assigned functions.
However, we noted no matters involving the internal control
structure, including procedures for safeguarding securities, that
we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of
February 29, 1996.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of
management and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
