Vigorous economic growth and Federal Reserve tightening dominated the fixed-
income markets in 1994. Real growth of 4% last year exceeded the historical
trend of approximately 2.5%. The target for the fed funds rate climbed with the
economy's strong pace, rising from 3% at the beginning of last year to 6% after
the most recent tightening on February 1, 1995. The Federal Reserve pursued its
monetary policy to slow economic growth to a level that will contain inflation.
Future Fed action will reflect its goal of preventing excessive inflation
without spurring significantly higher unemployment.

        Rising yields characterized the tax-exempt market during most of 1994.
The yield on one-year AAA General Obligation (GO) bonds peaked in December at
4.9%, up from 3% at the end of February 1994. However, as the market
strengthened over the last several months, the one-year yield retreated to 4.4%
by the funds' fiscal year-end. The five-year AAA GO bond yield ended this
quarter at 5%, 70 basis points higher than a year ago but 50 basis points lower
than at the end of November (100 basis points equal one percent). On the long
end, the yield on 30-year AAA GO bonds was almost 6%, up from 5.6% a year
earlier but down from its November peak of 6.8%.

        Yields declined after the Fed's sixth tightening of the year in
November. Anticipation of a slowing economy, good news on inflation, and

limited supply of tax-exempt bonds all contributed to the recent drop in yields.
Issuance fell to a four-year low last year and could be even lower in 1995.
 
TAX-EXEMPT MONEY FUND
 
Last year's rise in interest rates was bad news for bond investors but good 
news for money market investors as current yields rose substantially during 
the past 12 months. Your fund's seven-day compound yield stood at 3.57% at 
the end of the fiscal year, compared with 2.21% a year ago.

        During the past 12 months, the municipal short-term yield curve has
steepened substantially. For example, the difference in yield between an
overnight investment and a one-year security averaged 1.21 percentage points
over the past year, compared with an average difference of 0.48 of a percentage
point during the preceding 12-month period. The long end of the money market
curve followed the rate rise orchestrated by the Fed, while very short-term
yields stayed low, responding to light supply and strong investor demand in a
tightening environment.

        Issuance of short-term securities fell to $34.1 billion from $45.4 
billion during the fiscal year, the lowest level in five years, the result of 
more long-term bonds being sold in 1992 and 1993 to lock in historically low 
borrowing costs. At the moment, we see nothing on the horizon that will 
increase short-term supply. 

        Your fund closed the fiscal year with a weighted average maturity of 44
days, modestly longer than our peer group average of 40 days, but significantly
shorter than the fund's 55-day average at the beginning of the year. We expect
the short-term market to remain sensitive to further rate hikes. However, the
light supply of new issues, low dealer inventories, and solid demand induce us
to keep maturities slightly longer than the average for our peer group to gain
extra yield.

        Your fund's performance was in line with its peer group during the 
past three months, and above the average for the entire fiscal year.

TAX-FREE SHORT-INTERMEDIATE FUND
 
In the past year we maintained a relatively short, defensive portfolio 
duration, focusing on high-quality securities and avoiding bonds with low 
coupons selling at deep discounts, which do not perform well when interest 
rates are going up. Duration, which measures price sensitivity to changes in 
interest rates, dipped as low as 2.2 years in mid-October, but lengthened to 
2.5 by year-end.

        We extended duration for several reasons. First, short-term yields
seemed to have overshot reasonable expectations of Fed tightening. Second,
although new issuance was low, secondary supply was high, providing more
investment choices. Third, we anticipated increasing demand for tax-free bonds
in January 1995 with coupon payments due and older bonds maturing.

        Our investment strategy resulted in an increase in your fund's
annualized yield for the quarter to 4.5% from 4% a year ago. We intend to
proceed with caution in the months ahead, maintaining a neutral duration
combined with a defensive high credit quality and high coupon structure. Your
fund's objective is to provide a higher yield than money market funds offer,
with small share price fluctuation.

        Our strategy served us well through 1994, allowing the fund to 
significantly outperform the peer group average for both the quarter and the 
fiscal year ended February 28.

TAX-FREE INSURED INTERMEDIATE BOND FUND
 
Our investment strategy for the fund was similar to that of the Short-
Intermediate Fund. Essentially, we maintained a short or defensive duration,
focused on securities with relatively high credit quality, and stayed away from
low coupon bonds selling at significant discounts, which decline in value more
than high coupon bonds when rates are rising.
 
        When bonds looked particularly attractive in November, we extended
maturities to take advantage of low prices and high yields. We raised your
portfolio's duration to 5.4 years by the end of December, after it had fallen as
low as 4.9 years in mid-October.
 
        Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has recently given the market
mixed signals on the direction of monetary policy. Signs that the economy could
be slowing from its strong pace prompted him to suggest that the Fed may have
finished tightening, at least for a while. However, he also warned that further
rate hikes could lie ahead if the weakness of the U.S. dollar leads to higher
inflation. Accordingly, we will continue to maintain a neutral duration and a
defensive posture with high credit quality and high coupons in the near term.
 
        Our strategy resulted in a stronger performance than our peer group
average during the fiscal year. Fourth quarter performance was robust, although
slightly behind the average for similar funds.

TAX-FREE INCOME FUND
 
With last year's strong economy, the Federal Reserve's tightening, and poor 
cash flow into municipal funds, we believed rates would likely rise, driving 
bond prices down. In this environment, we managed your fund conservatively 
for most of the last 12 months.
 
        First and foremost, we attempted to dampen the fund's sensitivity to 
changing interest rates 
 
2
 
<PAGE>
 
by reducing the weighted average maturity and duration. Throughout most of 
1993, we kept the fund's average maturity in the 18- to 20-year range and 
effective duration to around eight years. During the first three quarters of 
1994, the average maturity was less than 18 years and we attempted to keep 
duration under 7.5 years. (Duration, a time-weighted measure of a bond's cash 
flow expressed in years, shows a bond or bond fund's price sensitivity to a 
change in interest rates.)
 
        Second, we attempted to make the fund less sensitive to rising rates 
by swapping lower coupon bonds for those with higher coupons. Low coupon 
bonds selling at a discount usually decline in price more than high coupon 
bonds when rates rise. Also, a change in the 1993 tax law subjected some 
gains realized from sales of market discount bonds to ordinary income taxes, 
rendering these securities less desirable to some investors. Finally, we 
gradually increased the reserves portion of the portfolio from the beginning 
of the year through October.
 
        As rates rose steeply in the fall, and investors anticipated some 
slowing in economic growth in 1995, we felt the fund would benefit from a 
more aggressive strategy. Therefore, we extended average maturity closer to 
18 years from 16.3 years in October, increased duration to 7.8 years from a 
low of about 7 years, and reduced reserves to less than 5% of the portfolio 
from more than 10%. We took these actions to allow the fund to perform in 
line with the rally in municipal bonds. However, we did not see sufficient 
evidence of a slowdown to warrant a fully aggressive strategy.
 
        Last year saw major changes in interest rates, and the fund's
performance reflects this movement. While results were modest for the fiscal
year, we are pleased that your fund provided an excellent three-month return and
outperformed its peer group average during both reporting periods.

TAX-FREE HIGH YIELD FUND
 
The high yield sector of the municipal market was not immune to last year's 
volatility. For the most part, we sought to maintain a neutral to somewhat 
defensive stance for your fund versus the overall market. This meant keeping 
duration in a range of 7.25 to 7.75 years, with cash levels averaging between 
5% and 6%. We also maintained a weighted average maturity of 19 to 20 years, 
down from 22 years during the strong markets of 1993.
 
        Our aim was to provide a cushion against rising interest rates and to
maintain sufficient liquidity, balanced against our constant goal of generating
high yields. To meet the last objective, we kept a minimum of 82% of holdings in
maturities exceeding 10 years.
 
        Although low issuance presented a challenge for all municipal investors,
reduced supply was even more pronounced in the high yield area. While credit
spreads widened in selected sectors, particularly health care, this was offset
at times by a limited supply of new high yield issues. Despite these challenges,
we were still able to select lower quality issues that brought value to the
fund. Overall credit quality was unchanged at BBB+.
 
        Despite the market's volatility, your fund outperformed its peer group
for the fiscal year, and performed strongly in the quarter, although it lagged
the competition. The fund has exceeded the average performance of other tax-free
high yield funds for the past seven years, and for eight of its 10 complete
fiscal years since inception.

OUTLOOK
 
The U.S. economy should continue to grow, although at a lower rate than in 1994.
To date, the Fed's actions appear to be starting to slow the pace of growth,
keeping inflation in check.

                                                                               3
<PAGE>
 
However, in the near term, we do expect some acceleration in inflation based on
tight labor markets and relatively high capacity utilization. This may result in
somewhat higher interest rates over the next few months, but most likely lower
than the levels reached in the fall. Moreover, light new issuance combined with
continued strong demand for tax-exempt bonds could result in better overall
returns in the municipal bond market in 1995.
 
        It is worth noting that 1994 was tumultuous for fixed income 
investors because of rising interest rates, widespread misuse of derivatives, 
and a large municipal bankruptcy. We want to assure you that we will continue 
to make investments that are appropriate for each fund's risk profile. In those 
funds that can purchase derivatives, our exposure has been modest and has not 
introduced undue risk for shareholders. In addition, our avoidance of the Orange
County crisis reinforces the value of thorough, independent credit research.

        We appreciate the continued trust our shareholders have placed in us.

T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income Fund / February 28, 1995

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) 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.

        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 and discounts on municipal securities 
are accounted for in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which 
require the amortization of all premiums and discounts except market 
discounts.  Market discounts are included in the gain or loss recorded on 
disposition of the security for financial reporting purposes and ordinary 
income for tax 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 and may differ from
those determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following 
practices to manage exposure to certain risks and enhance performance.  The 
investment objective, policies, program, risk factors and following practices 
of the fund are described more fully in the fund's Prospectus and Statement 
of Additional Information.

A) Options - Call and put options on futures contracts give the holder the 
right to purchase or sell, respectively, a particular futures contract at a 
specified price on a certain date.  Risks arise from possible illiquidity of 
the options market and from movements in underlying futures prices.  
Transactions in options written and related premiums received during the 
period ended February 28, 1995, were as follows:

B) Other - Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term 
securities, aggregated $635,467,000 and $622,786,000, respectively, for the 
period ended February 28, 1995. 

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.  The fund has unused realized capital loss carryforwards for 
federal income tax purposes of $16,746,000 which expire in 2003. The fund 
intends to retain gains realized in future periods that 

                                                                              15

may be offset by available capital loss carryforwards.

        In order for the fund's capital accounts and distributions to 
shareholders to reflect the tax character of certain transactions, $178,000 
of undistributed net realized gains was reclassified as a decrease to paid-in-
capital during the period ended February 28, 1995. The results of operations 
and net assets were not affected by the reclassifications.

        At February 28, 1995, the aggregate cost of investments for federal
income tax and financial reporting purposes was $1,284,812,000 and net
unrealized gain aggregated $51,976,000, of which $61,948,000 related to
appreciated investments and $9,972,000 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, of which $494,000 was payable at February 28, 1995.  The fee is computed 
daily and paid monthly, and consists 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. At February 28, 1995, and for the period then ended, the effective 
annual Group Fee rate was 0.34%.  The fund pays a pro rata share of the Group 
Fee based on the ratio of its net assets to those of the Group.

        In addition, the fund has entered into agreements with the Manager 
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, pursuant to which the fund 
receives certain other services.  The Manager computes the daily share price 
and maintains the financial records of the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. 
(TRPS) is the fund's transfer and dividend disbursing agent and provides 
shareholder and administrative services to the fund. The fund incurred 
expenses pursuant to these related party agreements totaling approximately 
$678,000 for the period ended February 28, 1995, of which $76,000 was payable 
at period end.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of 
T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets and the related 
statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the selected per 
share data and information (which appears under the heading "Financial 
Highlights") present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position 
of T. Rowe Price Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. at February 28, 1995, the results 
of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for 
each of the two years in the period then ended and the selected per share 
data and information for each of the five years in the period then ended, in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial 
statements and selected per share data and information (hereafter referred to 
as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; 
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these financial statements 
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that 
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether 
the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit 
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits, which included 
confirmation of securities at February 28, 1995 by correspondence with the 
custodian and brokers and, where appropriate, the application of alternative 
auditing procedures for unsettled security transactions, provide a reasonable 
basis for the opinion expressed above.
