T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements / August 31, 1994 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income Fund (the Fund) is registered under the 
Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management 
investment company.

A) Security Valuation - Debt securities are generally traded in the 
over-the-counter market. Investments in securities with remaining maturities 
of one year or more are stated at fair value as furnished by dealers who make 
markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service, which 
considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, 
and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such 
securities.  Securities with remaining maturities less than one year are 
stated at fair value which is determined by using a matrix system that 
establishes a value for each security based on money market yields.  
Financial futures contracts and options on futures contracts are valued at 
closing settlement prices.

        Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are 
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair 
value as determined in good faith by, or under the supervision of, the 
officers of the Fund, as authorized by the Board of Directors.

B) Premiums and Discounts - Premiums on municipal securities are amortized 
for both financial and tax reporting purposes.  Discounts, other than 
original issue, are not amortized for financial reporting purposes.

C) Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis.  Investment 
transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses 
are reported on an identified cost basis.  Distributions to shareholders are 
recorded by the Fund on the ex-dividend date.  Income and capital gain 
distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax 
regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.  
Payments ("variation margin") made or received by the Fund, dependent on the 
daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts, are recorded as 
unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

As a part of its investment program, the Fund engages in the following 
activities, the nature and risk of which are set forth more fully in the 
Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

A) Futures - A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and 
purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific financial 
instrument at a specified price, date, time and place designated at the time 
the contract is made. Risks arise from the possible illiquidity of the 
futures market and from movements in security values.  At August 31, 1994, 
the Fund had a short position in 150 U. S. Treasury Bond futures contracts 
which expire in September, 1994, and which have a contract value of 
$15,558,000.  Net unrealized depreciation of $148,000 on these contracts at 
August 31, 1994, is included in the accompanying financial statements. 
Municipal securities having a market value of $2,282,000 were pledged as 
initial margin on these contracts.

B) Other - Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term 
securities, aggregated $370,476,000 and $334,929,000 respectively, for the 
six months ended August 31, 1994.

NOTE 3 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the Fund intends to 
continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of 
its income.  

        At August 31, 1994, the aggregate cost of investments for federal 
income tax and financial reporting purposes was $1,324,104,000 and net 
unrealized appreciation aggregated $36,951,000, of which $56,408,000 related 
to appreciated investments and $19,457,000 to depreciated investments.  

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The investment management agreement between the Fund and T. Rowe Price 
Associates, Inc. (the Manager) provides for an annual investment management 
fee, computed daily and paid monthly, consisting of an Individual Fund Fee 
equal to 0.15% of average daily net assets and a Group Fee.  The Group Fee is 
based on the combined assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by the Manager 
or Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. (the Group).  The Group Fee rate 
ranges from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.31% for assets in 
excess of $34 billion. The effective annual Group Fee rate at August 31, 
1994, and for the six months then ended was 0.34%.  The Fund pays a pro rata 
portion of the Group Fee based on the ratio of the Fund's net assets to those 
of the Group. 

        T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. (TRPS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of 
the Manager.  TRPS provides transfer and dividend disbursing agent functions 
and shareholder services for all accounts.  The Manager, under a separate 
agreement, calculates the daily share price and maintains the financial 
records of the Fund.  For the six months ended August 31, 1994, the Fund 
incurred fees totalling approximately $359,000 for these services provided by 
related parties.  At August 31, 1994, investment management and service fees 
payable were $661,000.

                                                                              15
