PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Through the first five months of 1997, stock and bond markets experienced
the kind of short-term volatility that can affect them from time to time.
After climbing steadily upward for more than two years, stock prices saw a
sharp correction in late March and early April. Returns in the bond market
were essentially stagnant as the Federal Reserve Board implemented a
long-expected increase in short-term interest rates at the end of March.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with
any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help
investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will
be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon
appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to
weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk
potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is
two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice
if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek
income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, it's important to remember that there is no
assurance that a money market fund will achieve its goal of maintaining a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, and that these types of funds
are neither insured nor guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount
of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically
reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in
the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares
at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging -
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it
should help you lower the average cost of your purchases.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We are available
24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need
to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,

SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return
reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of
the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the
sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the
fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past five years and
life of fund total returns would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Lehman Brothers Florida 1.60% 8.19% n/a n/a
Municipal Bond Index
Florida Municipal Debt Funds Average 1.15% 7.46% 38.61% n/a
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance over a set period - in
this case, six months, one year, five years or since the fund started on
March 16, 1992. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had
a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be
$1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Florida Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance
benchmark for Florida investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of
at least one year. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the Florida municipal debt funds average,
which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives
tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 76 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of
sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's actual cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total returns by
annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an arithmetic average.
This may produce a slightly different figure than that obtained by
averaging the cumulative total returns by annualizing the result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Spartan Florida Municipal Income Fund on March 31, 1992,
shortly after the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1997, the
value of the investment would have grown to $14,946 - a 49.46% increase on
the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index, a total return performance benchmark for
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of at least one year, did
over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would
have grown to $14,470 - a 44.70% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will
do tomorrow. Bond prices,
for example, generally move
in the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return and yield
of a fund that invests in bonds
will vary. That means if you
sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

by the fund. A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by
the fund to shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the
fund's share price. Both returns assume the dividends or capital gains paid
by the fund are reinvested, if any. For the periods through November 30,
1996, capital appreciation and total returns include the effect of a $5

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.05 over
the past one month, $11.07 over the past six months and $11.01 over the
past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods.
The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on
the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield if you're
in the 36% 1997 federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the
federal alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Jonathan Short, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Florida
Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, JON?
A. For the six-month period that ended May 31, 1997, the fund had a total
return of 1.39%. To get a sense of how the fund did relative to its
competitors, the Florida municipal debt funds average returned 1.15% for
the same six-month period, as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services.
Additionally, the Lehman Brothers Florida Municipal Bond Index returned
1.60%. For the 12-month period that ended May 31, 1997, the fund had a
total return of 7.97%, the Florida municipal debt funds average returned
7.46%, again according to Lipper, and the Lehman Brothers Florida Municipal
Bond Index returned 8.19%.
Q. THE BOND MARKET WAS SOMEWHAT JITTERY DURING THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD. WHAT
CAUSED ALL THE UNCERTAINTY AND HOW DID MUNICIPALS FARE IN THE MIDST OF IT?
A. The main reason for the bond market's skittishness was the fear of
inflation. Worried that the economy was growing at too quick a pace - and
much faster than anticipated - investors sent bond yields higher and bond
prices lower. Of course, bond investors react negatively to even the threat
of higher inflation because it can eat away at the fixed-income payments
their bonds generate. While there weren't any tangible signs that inflation
was on the upswing, investors continued to be concerned about the future
and whether or not the Federal
Reserve Board would raise interest rates as an anti-inflationary measure
sometime down the road. Municipals, however, suffered less during this
troubled period than their Treasury counterparts. That was because the
supply of munis was limited and the demand for them increased. As a result,
tax-free bonds generally were able to hold their ground better than
Treasuries and many other taxable fixed-income investments.
Q. HOW DID YOU ALTER YOUR STRATEGY DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. While I did buy and sell bonds based on what I believed their value to
be relative to other bonds available in the marketplace, my basic strategy
remained intact. I continued to keep the fund's duration - which measures
how sensitive it is to changes in interest rates - in line with the Florida
municipal market as a whole, as reflected by the fund's benchmark index. In
theory, I guess it's possible to accurately predict where interest rates
are headed. But practically speaking, it has proved to be very difficult to
do with consistency over any meaningful stretch of time.
Q. DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS, HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT YOU SOLD SOME
LONGER-TERM BONDS, WHICH ARE THE MOST SENSITIVE OF ALL BOND MATURITIES TO
RISING INTEREST RATES. DID THAT SIGNAL THAT YOU WERE GETTING MORE DEFENSIVE
IN LIGHT OF HIGHER INTEREST RATES?
A. No, it was a function of where I found the best value. In my view,
longer-term bonds with maturities of more than 20 years didn't offer enough
yield advantage over shorter-term bonds to compensate for their added
interest rate sensitivity. In my view, the better risk/reward payoff was
found in intermediate bonds. So I sold some long-term bonds and replaced
them with shorter-term maturities.
Q. WHY DID YOU DECREASE THE FUND'S BAA-RATED BONDS?
A. The primary reason was that credit spreads were tight. By that I mean
that lower-rated Baa bonds offered a very small amount of additional yield
- - by historical standards - over higher-rated bonds. Again, I didn't think
that the small incremental yield that lower-quality bonds paid was worth
the added credit risk they carried. So I tended to emphasize higher-quality
bonds - including those rated Aaa by Moody's Investor Service.
Q. HEALTH CARE AND ELECTRIC REVENUE BONDS WERE TWO OF THE FUND'S LARGEST
SECTOR CONCENTRATIONS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. SINCE BOTH SECTORS ARE
FACING UNIQUE CHALLENGES, HOW DID YOU CHOOSE WHICH INVESTMENTS WERE
APPROPRIATE FOR THE FUND?
A. In the health care sector, the main challenges were consolidation,
cost-cutting and competition. I emphasized health care facilities that I
believed were well-positioned in their service area and that had strong
relationships with doctors and various payers, including insurance
companies and the state and federal governments. With input from Fidelity's
research analysts, I targeted hospitals with strong market share, sensible
balance sheets and effective management teams. Health care bonds typically
offer high yields relative to other sectors, which is one reason why I
thought they were attractive investments for the fund. Turning to electric
providers, I preferred those that I thought had reasonable enough cost
structures, which would allow them to do well in a more competitive
environment. While I didn't see any imminent threat of more competition
over the near term, the national trend toward more competition could
eventually take hold in Florida.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. From a supply and demand standpoint, I'm optimistic about municipals. I
don't expect to see a tremendous amount of new bonds issued, and the
increase in supply we're likely to see could be easily digested if demand
remains firm. How municipals fare over the next year will depend heavily on
the direction of interest rates, but I don't think anyone can accurately
pinpoint where interest rates will be a week, a month or a year from now.
That said, we may continue to see some volatility in the bond market as
long as there are conflicting signs about the economy and inflation trends.

JONATHAN SHORT ON FLORIDA'S
ECONOMY:
"Much as it has for the last
several years, Florida's
economy continues to expand.
Unemployment is the lowest it
has been so far in this
decade and the state's job
growth is outpacing the nation
as a whole. However, recent
evidence suggests that the
state's economic growth may
slow somewhat over the next
several years. Population
growth - which has fueled
Florida's expansion over the
past decade - slowed in 1996
to the lowest rate since World
War II. Additionally, the state's
heavy reliance on tourism
could put the skids on
Florida's growth if the U.S.
economy slows.
"Even so, I believe that Florida
will remain one of the
fastest-growing states in the
nation for the remainder of the
century. The state's strong ties
to Latin America will be a plus
as long as trade relations
between the U.S. and the
region remain positive. Given
the affordable housing and
pleasant climate the state has
to offer, population growth
should remain positive, even
if it does slow from current
levels."

SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital
gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value), and the effect of the $5 account closeout fee on an average size
account. Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money market
fund tries to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of
performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed the fund for certain expenses,
the life of fund total returns would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund
started on August 24, 1992. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a
fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the all tax-free money market funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by IBC Financial Data, Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 425 mutual funds. (The periods covered by the
IBC Financial Data, Inc. numbers are the closest available match to those
covered by the fund.)

Money Market Fund -
Tax-equivalent
YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can
compare these yields to the all tax-free money market funds average. Or you
can look at the fund's tax-equivalent yield, which is based on an effective
1997 federal tax rate of 36%. A portion of the fund's income may be subject
to the alternative minimum tax. Figures for the all tax-free money market
funds average are from IBC Financial Data, Inc.
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
Yields on tax-free investments
are usually lower than yields
on taxable investments.
However, a straight
comparison between the two
may be misleading because it
ignores the way taxes reduce
taxable returns. Tax-equivalent
yield - the yield you'd have to
earn on a similar taxable
investment to match the
tax-free yield - makes the
comparison more
meaningful. Keep in mind that
the U.S. government neither
insures nor guarantees a
money market fund. In fact,
there is no assurance that a
money fund will maintain a $1
share price.

SPARTAN FLORIDA MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Scott Orr became Portfolio Manager of Spartan Florida Municipal Money
Market Fund on April 1, 1997.
Q. WHAT WAS THE INVESTING ENVIRONMENT LIKE OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS, SCOTT?
A. At the beginning of the period, the market had become complacent with
the Federal Reserve Board's monetary policy. At that time, the economy was
growing at a moderate pace and inflation remained well under control. The
Fed had stayed on the sidelines, keeping the rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans - known as the fed funds rate - steady at 5.25% since
January 1996. In February and March 1997, however, signs that the economy
was growing at a stronger clip changed market sentiment. Expectations of a
rate increase culminated in the Fed's announcement at its March 25 Open
Market Committee meeting that it had increased the fed funds rate by 0.25%
to 5.50%. From the end of March through the end of the period, yields in
the market reflected a strong belief that the Fed would continue to raise
rates. Although many in the market expected a rate increase at its May
meeting, the Fed decided to hold off because economic growth had moderated
again and inflation was still benign. Despite the weaker pace of growth at
the end of the period, the market continued to look for higher rates, but
perhaps over a more protracted time frame.
Q. WHAT WAS THE FUND'S STRATEGY IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?
A. The environment was one in which we expected rates to be higher in the
ensuing months. As a result, part of our strategy was to invest in variable
rate securities because they move up or down with changes in interest
rates. At the same time, we sought to buy fixed-rate notes when they were
expected to provide higher yields than variable rate securities over the
terms of the notes.
Q. WERE THERE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECTED THE STRATEGY?
A. Yes. A significant amount of assets typically come into the fund at the
end of December each year because it provides a unique tax shelter against
the Florida intangible tax. In the past, this flood of cash into the fund
has made it difficult to keep it fully invested in Florida securities. This
year, Fidelity made a concerted effort to contact shareholders and request
that they invest their money a bit earlier than in the past. This campaign
proved to be very successful. As a result of receiving the added inflows
earlier, the fund was able to purchase more Florida securities at
attractive levels that we were happy to hold over the year-end period. We
look forward to pursuing a similar approach in the future.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market Fund's seven-day yield on May 31,
1997, was 3.43%, compared to 3.18% six months ago. The latest yield was the
equivalent of a 5.36% taxable rate of return for Florida investors in the
36% federal tax bracket. Through May 31, 1997, the fund's six-month total
return was 1.59%, compared to 1.52% for the all tax-free money market funds
average, according to IBC Financial Data, Inc.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Even though there has been some recent moderation in the economy, I
believe there will be enough sustained strength to encourage the Fed to
raise rates over the next six to nine months. At this point, the main
question is when the increases will come. As such, I believe the markets
will look much like they did last year, as investors look at statistics
week by week to try to discern the strength of the economy, the outlook for
inflation and, hence, Fed policy.

WORDS TO KNOW
COMMERCIAL PAPER: A security
issued by a municipality to
finance capital or operating
needs.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The interest
rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans.
MATURITY: The time remaining
before an issuer is scheduled
to repay the principal amount
on a debt security. When the
fund's average maturity -
weighted by dollar amount -
is short, the fund manager is
anticipating a rise in interest
rates. When the average
maturity is long, the manager
is expecting rates to fall.
When the average maturity is
neutral, the manager wants
the flexibility to respond to
rising rates, while still
capturing a portion of the
higher yields available from
issues with longer maturities.
MUNICIPAL NOTE: A security
issued in advance of future
tax or other revenues and
payable from those specific
sources.
TENDER BOND: A variable-rate,
long-term security that gives
the bond holder the option to
redeem the bond at face
value before maturity.
VARIABLE RATE DEMAND NOTE
(VRDN): A tender bond that
can be redeemed on short
notice, typically one or seven
days. VRDNs are useful in
managing the fund's average
maturity and liquidity.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1997 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan Florida Municipal Income Fund (the income fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Court Street Trust. Spartan Florida Municipal Money Market Fund
(the money market fund) is a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust II. Each
trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended
(the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. Fidelity
Court Street Trust and Fidelity Court Street Trust II (the trusts) are
organized as a Massachusetts business trust and a Delaware business trust,
respectively. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which permit management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the money
market fund and the income fund:
SECURITY VALUATION.
INCOME FUND. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system
and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market
transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Securities (including
restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under
consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board
of Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days
or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at
amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which
approximate current value.
MONEY MARKET FUND. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned. For the
money market fund, accretion of market discount represents unrealized gain
until realized at the time of a security disposition or maturity.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions to shareholders from
realized capital gains on investments, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for market
discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to futures and
options. The income fund also utilized earnings and profits distributed to
shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Any taxable gain remaining at fiscal year end
is distributed in the following year.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the income fund less than 180 days are
subject to a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed
shares. The fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an
addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds may invest in the Municipal
Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas, an affiliate of
Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end
money market fund available only to investment companies and other accounts
managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of
capital, liquidity, and current income by investing in high-quality,
short-term municipal securities of various states and municipalities.
Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions received by the funds are
recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The income fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying
futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument,
while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if

FUTURES CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or if the
counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Futures contracts
are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of
trade or exchange on which they are traded.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities
is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market values of
the securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are
identified as such in each applicable fund's schedule of investments. With
respect to purchase commitments, each fund identifies securities as
segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the
amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables associated with the
purchases and sales of when-issued securities having the same settlement
date and broker are offset. When-issued securities that have been purchased
from and sold to different brokers are reflected as both payables and
receivables in the applicable statements of assets and liabilities under
the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in the
market value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not
perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities
due to political, economic, or other factors.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Certain funds are permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding
restricted securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at
the end of each applicable fund's schedule of investments.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
INCOME FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $60,420,176 and $46,446,781, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $23,911,967 and $27,500,336, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses,
except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. -

MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of
.55% and .50% of average net assets for the income and money market funds,
respectively.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to each fund. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the funds' shareholders which amounted to
$925 and $3,102 for the period for the income and money market funds,
respectively. Effective April 1, 1997, these transaction fees were
eliminated for the income fund.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the money market fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR
Texas Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of
50% of the management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any
voluntary expense reimbursements which may be in effect.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
In addition, FMR has entered into arrangements on behalf of each fund with
its custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of
uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's
expenses. During the period, the income and money market fund's expenses
were reduced by $2,809 and $46,388 under these arrangements.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Through the first five months of 1997, stock and bond markets experienced
the kind of short-term volatility that can affect them from time to time.
After climbing steadily upward for more than two years, stock prices saw a
sharp correction in late March and early April. Returns in the bond market
were essentially stagnant as the Federal Reserve Board implemented a
long-expected increase in short-term interest rates at the end of March.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with
any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help
investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will
be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon
appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to
weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk
potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is
two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice
if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek
income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, it's important to remember that there is no
assurance that a money market fund will achieve its goal of maintaining a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, and that these types of funds
are neither insured nor guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount
of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically
reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in
the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares
at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging -
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it
should help you lower the average cost of your purchases.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We are available
24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need
to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate historical performance. You can look at
the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change,
or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects
the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the
fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale
of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at income, as
reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If Fidelity had not
reimbursed certain fund expenses during the periods shown, the past five
year, and life of the fund, total returns would have been lower.

Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since
the fund started on January 1, 1988. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the
performance of the Lehman Brothers New Jersey Municipal Bond Index with
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey - a total return performance
benchmark for New Jersey investment-grade municipal bonds, including Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey bonds, with maturities of at least one
year. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers,
you can compare it to the New Jersey municipal debt funds average, which
reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by
Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a
peer group of 56 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales
charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each
year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total returns by annualizing
each fund's total return, then taking an arithmetic average. This may
produce a slightly different figure than that obtained by averaging the
cumulative total returns and annualizing the result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan New
Jersey Municipal Income Fund on January 1, 1988, when the fund started. As
the chart shows, by May 31, 1997, the value of your investment would have
grown to $20,862 a 108.62% increase on your initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index did over
the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have
grown to $21,307 a 113.07% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday
is no guarantee of how it will
do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return and yield
of a fund that invests in
bonds will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can
ride out the market's ups
and downs, you may have a
gain.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.07 over
the past month, $11.11 over the past six months and $11.12 over the past
one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods. The
30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on the
yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 40.08% combined effective 1997 federal and state tax bracket, but
does not reflect payment of the alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: Norm Lind became Portfolio Manager of Spartan New
Jersey Municipal Income Fund April 1, 1997.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, NORM?
A. For the six-month period that ended May 31, 1997, the fund had a total
return of 1.49%. For the same period, the New Jersey municipal debt funds
average returned 1.35%, as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, and the
Lehman Brothers New Jersey Municipal Bond Index with Port Authority of New
York and New Jersey returned 1.54%. For the year that ended May 31, 1997,
the fund had a total return of 7.75%, while the New Jersey municipal debt
funds average had a total return of 7.31% and the Lehman Brothers New
Jersey Municipal Bond Index with Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
had a return of 7.87%.
Q. THE PAST SIX MONTHS WERE A DIFFICULT PERIOD FOR FIXED-INCOME INVESTMENTS
. . .
A. That's true, although municipals actually performed better than
Treasuries. Generally speaking, the bond market prefers a steady,
slow-growing economy with low inflation. But there were signs that economic
growth was more vigorous than investors had originally expected and that
set off a bout of inflationary fears. Bond holders, of course, dislike
inflation because it eats away at their fixed-income payments. While the
anticipated uptick in inflation never did materialize during the period,
investors were worried enough about the future to send both taxable and
municipal bond yields higher and prices lower. Municipals, however,
suffered less during this troubled period, buoyed mainly by a classic case
of rising demand for them butting up against a limited supply.
Q. YOU BEGAN MANAGING THE FUND ON APRIL 1, 1997. HOW IS YOUR STRATEGY
DIFFERENT THAN THAT OF THE PREVIOUS MANAGER?
A. There aren't any major differences between my investment strategy and
that of my predecessor. As he did, I manage the fund's duration - that is,
its sensitivity to interest rate changes - to be similar to that of the
fund's benchmark index. In my experience, it's impossible to predict the
direction of interest rates with any great consistency over a long period
of time. As a result, I don't position the fund to benefit from either
rising or falling interest rates. Another big similarity is that I rely
heavily on Fidelity's quantitative research team to help me identify
attractive investments for the fund. They provide analysis on the important
elements that go into the pricing of a bond, including its coupon, call
feature, credit quality and tax implications.
Q. LET'S TALK ABOUT TWO OF THE STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS YOU JUST MENTIONED -
COUPONS AND CALL FEATURES. WHAT CHOICES DID YOU MAKE RELATIVE TO THESE
FACTORS?
A. As far as coupons go, I tended to favor premium-coupon bonds, which pay
higher annual income than newly issued bonds. These bonds offer downside
protection should the market fall and are protected from unfavorable tax
treatment that can occur during some market environments. As far as call
features are concerned, I generally prefer non-callable bonds - which can't
be redeemed by their issuers before maturity. If interest rates fall, the
fund can continue to hold the high-yielding premium coupon bonds without
fear of them being redeemed by issuers looking to refinance their debt at
lower rates. Both premium coupon bonds and non-callable bonds were pursued
by the previous manager as well.
Q. EVEN SO, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME CHANGES IN INDIVIDUAL HOLDINGS SINCE YOU
TOOK OVER . . .
A. That's true, but the changes reflect market conditions and
opportunities, rather than a change in investment strategy. For example, I
bought bonds issued by the New Jersey Turnpike. These bonds came under some
pressure over the past few years when it was learned that toll collections
wouldn't be as strong as expected. But I believe that the management of the
turnpike has done a good job of cutting costs and ended the period in
better fiscal shape. On the other hand, I sold some bonds issued by the
Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. Although I still think these bonds
are creditworthy, I didn't think their upside potential was as strong as it
had been over the past several years.
Q. DID YOU MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS IN THE WAY THE FUND WAS DISTRIBUTED AMONG
BONDS WITH VARIOUS MATURITIES?
A. Yes. When I took over the fund, it had a fairly heavy weighting -
relative to the benchmark - in bonds with maturities of five to 15 years.
While that strategy had worked out well for the fund, I didn't think that
there was much more to be gained from emphasizing those bonds. So I worked
to spread the fund's holdings more evenly across the various maturities and
added bonds in the two- to five-year maturity range.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET?
A. As always, the municipal bond market's performance largely will be
dictated by the direction of interest rates, and it's anyone's guess what
will happen from here. But from a supply and demand standpoint, municipals
in general appear to be in pretty good shape, barring any unforeseen
legislation the could negatively affect them. I don't expect to see a
tremendous amount of additional supply entering the market. What increase
there is in supply could be easily digested if demand remains firm.

NORM LIND ON INSURED BONDS:
"Roughly half of all new
municipal bonds issued in the
state of New Jersey carry
insurance, compared to 30%
at the beginning of the
decade. One implication of
this development is the
increasing difficulty for this
fund in finding additional yield.
Bonds that might naturally
carry an A-rating, an
Aa-rating or a Baa-rating are
being insured and offering
lower yields because of the
insurance. Even though this
situation has posed a
significant challenge, I look for
higher-yielding, uninsured
bonds where I think the yield
adequately compensates an
investor for the additional risk
they carry. One area that I
think fits those criteria right
now is some non-insured
general obligation bonds
(GOs) issued by cities and
counties in areas of the state
that are strengthening from
an economic standpoint. GOs
are municipal bonds backed
by the full faith and credit -
which includes the taxing
power - of a municipality. A
GO is repaid with general
revenue, in contrast to the
revenue from a specific
facility built with borrowed
funds, such as a tunnel or
sewer system. Because the
economy has been fairly
strong in some regions of
New Jersey, tax and other
collections have risen and, as
a consequence, the
creditworthiness of some
municipalities has been
enhanced."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1997 (Unaudited)
6. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan New Jersey Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity
Court Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment
company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial
statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles which permit management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Short-term securities
with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Securities
(including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily
available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under
consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board
of Trustees.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
its fiscal year.
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions to shareholders from
realized capital gains on investments, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for market
discount and futures and options transactions. The fund also utilized
earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as
a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the fund less than 180 days are subject to
a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. The
fee, which is retained by the fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid
in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
7. OPERATING POLICIES.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying
futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument,
while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts
involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures
variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end
is shown in the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures
Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying
instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the
contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established
each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period,
restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to $2,105,000 or
0.6% of net assets.
8. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $29,046,795 and $31,484,816, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $12,077,560 and $12,423,877, respectively.
9. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, Fidelity Management &
Research Company (FMR) pays all expenses, except the compensation of the
non-interested Trustees and certain exceptions such as interest, taxes,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses. FMR receives a fee that
is computed daily at an annual rate of .55% of the fund's average net
assets.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to the fund. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates collect
certain transaction fees from the fund's shareholders which amounted to
$1,885 for the period. Effective April 1, 1997, these transaction fees were
eliminated.
10. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has entered into an arrangement on behalf of the fund with the fund's
custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of
uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's
expenses. During the period, the fund's expenses were reduced by $8,480

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Through the first five months of 1997, stock and bond markets experienced
the kind of short-term volatility that can affect them from time to time.
After climbing steadily upward for more than two years, stock prices saw a
sharp correction in late March and early April. Returns in the bond market
were essentially stagnant as the Federal Reserve Board implemented a
long-expected increase in short-term interest rates at the end of March.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with
any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help
investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will
be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon
appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to
weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk
potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is
two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice
if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek
income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, it's important to remember that there is no
assurance that a money market fund will achieve its goal of maintaining a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, and that these types of funds
are neither insured nor guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount
of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically
reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in
the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares
at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging -
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it
should help you lower the average cost of your purchases.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We are available
24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need
to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,

SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return
reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of
the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the
sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the
fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance. If
Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the life of fund total
returns would have been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

MONTHS YEAR YEARS FUND
Spartan Connecticut Municipal 1.39% 7.75% 39.21% 107.42%

Lehman Brothers Connecticut 4 Plus 1.60% 7.95% n/a n/a
Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index
Connecticut Municipal 1.50% 7.39% 37.78% n/a
Debt Funds Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since
the fund started on October 29, 1987. For example, if you had invested
$1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the
performance of the Lehman Brothers Connecticut 4 Plus Year Enhanced
Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance benchmark for Connecticut
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of at least four years. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the Connecticut municipal debt funds average, which reflects
the performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 21 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends
and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each
year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total returns by annualizing
each fund's total return, then taking an arithmetic average. This may
produce a slightly different figure than that obtained by averaging the
cumulative total returns by annualizing the result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say you invested $10,000 in Spartan
Connecticut Municipal Income Fund on October 31, 1987, shortly after the
fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1997, the value of your
investment would have grown to $20,813 a 108.13% increase on your initial
investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index - which reflects the performance of the investment-grade municipal
bond market - did over the same period. With dividends reinvested, the same
$10,000 would have grown to $22,181 a 121.81% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will
do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return and yield of
a fund that invests in bonds
will vary. That means if you
sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can ride
out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

A capital appreciation return reflects both the amount paid by the fund to
shareholders as capital gain distributions and changes in the fund's share
price. Both returns assume the dividends or gains are reinvested, if any.
For the periods through November 30, 1996 capital appreciation and total

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $11.05 over
the past one month, $11.07 over the past six months and $11.03 over the
past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods.
The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on
the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 38.88% 1997 combined federal and state tax bracket but does not
reflect payment of the alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL INCOME FUND
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with George Fischer, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Connecticut
Municipal Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, GEORGE?
A. For the six-month period that ended May 31, 1997, the fund had a total
return of 1.39%. For the same period, the Connecticut municipal debt funds
average, as tracked by Lipper Analytical Services, returned 1.50%, while
the Lehman Brothers Connecticut 4 Plus Year Enhanced Municipal Bond Index
returned 1.60%. For the 12 months that ended May 31, 1997, the fund
returned 7.75%, the Lipper average returned 7.39% and the index had a total
return of 7.95%.
Q. HOW WOULD YOU CHARACTERIZE THE MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET OVER THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. I'd characterize it as a somewhat choppy period for all bonds, although
municipals actually performed better than U.S. Treasury bonds. Evidence
that the economy was growing at a much-quicker-than-expected pace sent bond
prices lower and, correspondingly, bond yields higher. Bond holders, of
course, fear a fast-growing economy because they worry that it can whip up
inflation, which has been nearly non-existent over the past couple of
years. Inflation can spell trouble for bond investors because it can eat
away at the fixed-income payments bonds provide. While inflation remained
low during the period, investors continued to worry that the future
wouldn't
be so predictable. Fortunately, there was a limited supply of municipals
available and demand for them grew, which helped support municipal prices.
Q. WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Compared to six months ago, the fund has fewer bonds with maturities of
about 10 years and more bonds with maturities of about five years. The
reason for the switch had to do with the changing shape of the yield curve
- - a graphical representation of the yields on bonds with various
maturities. The yield curve flattened during the period, which meant that
there was a smaller difference in yield between five- and 10-year bonds. So
when possible, I sold 10-year bonds. I didn't believe they offered
investors adequate reward in the way of yield for their additional interest
rate sensitivity. I replaced them with bonds in the five-year maturity
range where the risk/reward profile seemed more attractive.
Q. THE FUND HAD SIZABLE HOLDINGS IN GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS DURING THE
PERIOD. WHAT'S YOUR PHILOSOPHY IN EVALUATING THE FUND'S POSITIONS IN THAT
SECTOR?
A. Let's start by defining the terms. A general obligation bond, or GO, is
a municipal bond backed by the full faith and credit - which includes the
taxing power - of a city, county or state. A GO bond is repaid with general
revenue such as taxes. In contrast, revenue bonds are repaid by revenue
generated from a specific facility, say a toll road or water system. In
choosing GOs, I look at different issuers apart from the major Connecticut
issuer - the state - for what I believe is a good combination of high
income and low risk. Fortunately, there are some local issuers in
Connecticut that meet these criteria, although I put an emphasis on staying
diversified and not taking on very large positions in any one security.
General revenues are sensitive to both the economy and the municipality's
fiscal health, both of which were relatively strong during the period in
many of the areas the fund emphasized.
Q. OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF NEW MUNICIPAL BONDS ISSUED IN CONNECTICUT OVER
THE PAST YEAR, ROUGHLY HALF WAS INSURED. WHAT CHALLENGES DID THAT PRESENT
TO YOU AS A MUTUAL FUND MANAGER?
A. It made it increasingly more difficult to find relatively
higher-yielding bonds. Because of the limited number of opportunities to
pick up yield through an analysis of credit quality, I focused on
exploiting
opportunities that arose due to a bond's structure. For example, I'd
analyze a bond's call feature, which determines whether it can be redeemed
by its issuer before maturity. Depending on their price and their potential
for appreciation, I would overweight non-callable bonds, which can't be
redeemed by their issuers before maturity, when I thought the market would
reward me for doing so. I also looked for opportunities that arose when
bonds were selling at prices cheaper than I believed to be their fair value
based on their coupon, maturity or other factors.
Q. WHAT'S YOU OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. One development I'll be keeping an eye on is the state's takeover of the
Hartford school district. The state supreme court ruled that the state
needed to take steps to improve school funding in poorer areas of the
state, including Hartford. The question is how much money the state will
spend to fix the problem in Hartford's school district and other areas. As
far as the overall bond market, I think that until investors feel like they
have a good handle on where the economy, interest rates and inflation are
headed, the bond market will likely remain choppy. The past six months have
been a relatively good period for municipal bonds relative to U.S.
Treasuries and, by the end of the period, munis seemed fairly valued in
relation to their taxable counterparts. I think that the municipal market
will need to continue to experience strong demand and weak supply in order
to continue outperforming Treasuries.

GEORGE FISCHER ON THE
CONNECTICUT ECONOMY:
"The Connecticut economy
has continued to do very well
over the past six months,
which has helped to improve
the state's revenue
collections. The previous
engines of job growth -
defense and financial services
- - seem to be on the mend.
The defense industry appears
to be turning the corner with
new orders from the
aerospace sector, while the
insurance sector looks like it
has put the worst behind it.
What remains to be seen is
how the state's recent tax cuts
will play out over the next
several years and whether
spending will also be curtailed
so that the budget remains in
balance. So far, the state has
successfully managed this
process, but I'll continue to
keep a close eye on future
developments."

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital
gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in
value), and the effect of the fund's $5 account closeout fee on an average
sized account. Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money
market fund tries to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important
measure of performance. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the past five years and life of fund total returns would have
been lower.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

Money Market Fund
Connecticut Tax-Free 1.43% 2.83% 13.47% 26.81%
Money Market Funds Average
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since
the fund started on March 4, 1991. For example, if you had invested $1,000
in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your
investment would be $1,050. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the Connecticut tax-free money
market funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by IBC Financial Data, Inc. The past six months
average represents a peer group of 11 mutual funds. (The periods covered by
IBC Financial Data Inc. numbers are the closest available match to those
covered by the fund.)

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can
compare these yields to the Connecticut tax-free money market funds average
as tracked by IBC Financial Data, Inc. Or you can look at the fund's
tax-equivalent yield, which is based on a combined effective 1996 federal
and state income tax rate of 38.88% and reflects that a portion of the
fund's income was subject to state taxes. A portion of the fund's income
may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.
A MONEY MARKET FUND'S TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS WILL VARY, AND REFLECT PAST
RESULTS RATHER THAN PREDICT FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
COMPARING
PERFORMANCE
Yields on tax-free
investments are usually lower
than yields on taxable
investments. However, a
straight comparison between
the two may be misleading
because it ignores the way
taxes reduce taxable returns.
Tax-equivalent yield - the
yield you'd have to earn on a
similar taxable investment to
match the tax-free yield -
makes the comparison more
meaningful. Keep in mind that
the U.S. Government neither
insures nor guarantees a
money market fund. In fact,
there is no assurance that a
money market fund will
maintain a $1 share price.

SPARTAN CONNECTICUT MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET FUND
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with Deborah Watson, Portfolio Manager of Spartan Connecticut
Municipal Money Market Fund
Q. WHAT HAS THE INVESTMENT ENVIRONMENT BEEN LIKE, DEB?
A. At the beginning of the period, most market participants expected the
Federal Reserve Board to keep short-term interest rates steady as a result
of moderate economic growth and no signs of inflation. However, that
sentiment changed during the first quarter of 1997, as unemployment fell
and fears arose that higher labor costs would translate into higher prices.
Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, speaking before the Joint Economic Committee
of Congress on March 20, said that the Fed's objective was to fight
inflation pre-emptively. That is, he indicated the Fed might raise rates to
head off potential inflation in the future, even though any increase in
price indices had been marginal. Shortly thereafter on March 25, the Fed
followed through and raised the rate banks charge each other for overnight
loans - known as the fed funds rate - by 0.25% to 5.50%. As the Fed's May
meeting approached, many in the market expected the Fed to raise rates
again.
Q. BUT THE FED HELD OFF . . .
A. That's right. Preliminary information indicated that economic growth
started to slow in the second quarter. In addition, such price indices as
the producer price index (PPI) and the consumer price index (CPI) continued
to show no signs of inflation. As a result, the Fed stood pat and indicated
that it was reverting to its usual posture - waiting to react to inflation
news before changing rates - rather than maintaining its pre-emptive
strategy.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY OVER THIS PERIOD?
A. At the beginning of the period, the fund's average maturity was at 52
days. It rolled down somewhat through January, as I focused new investments
on shorter-term securities due to the limited supply of longer-term
instruments in the Connecticut market. I maintained the maturity in the 37-
to 40-day range through the end of April. Toward the end of the period, I
sought to extend it by purchasing longer-term investments that offered
attractive yields because they incorporated the expectation of future
interest rate increases. In addition, the yield advantage offered by
longer-term fixed-rate securities compared to shorter-term variable rate
notes tends to be more pronounced in the Connecticut market than elsewhere.
As a result, it's often advantageous to buy the longer securities. By the
end of May, the fund's average maturity was 48 days.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund's seven-day yield on May 31, 1997, was 3.27%, compared to 3.05%
six months earlier. The latest yield was the equivalent of a taxable yield
of 5.35% for Connecticut investors in the 38.88% combined federal and state
tax bracket, and does not reflect that a portion of the fund's income was
subject to state income taxes. The fund's total return during the six-month
period was 1.52%. That beat the total return of 1.43% for the Connecticut
tax-free money market funds average, according to IBC Financial Data, Inc.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I think the Fed and the markets will continue to scrutinize every
economic number released. Any indications of economic weakening continuing
into the third quarter should postpone additional rate increases by the
Fed. However, I believe it is quite possible for growth to pick up in the
second half of the year, and we may see the Fed raise rates at that time.

(checkmark)
WORDS TO KNOW
COMMERCIAL PAPER: A security
issued by a municipality to
finance capital or operating
needs.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE: The interest
rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans.
MATURITY: The time remaining
before an issuer is scheduled
to repay the principal amount
on a debt security. When the
fund's average maturity -
weighted by dollar amount -
is short, the fund manager is
anticipating a rise in interest
rates. When the average
maturity is long, the manager
is expecting rates to fall.
When the average maturity is
neutral, the manager wants
the flexibility to respond to
rising rates, while still
capturing a portion of the
higher yields available from
issues with longer maturities.
MUNICIPAL NOTE: A security
issued in advance of future
tax or other revenues and
payable from those specific
sources.
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS:
effective July 1, 1997, after

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1997 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Spartan Connecticut Municipal Income Fund (the income fund) is a fund of
Fidelity Court Street Trust. Spartan Connecticut Municipal Money Market
Fund (the money market fund) is a fund of Fidelity Court Street Trust II.
Each trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company.
Fidelity Court Street Trust and Fidelity Court Street Trust II (the trusts)
are organized as a Massachusetts business trust and a Delaware business
trust, respectively. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number
of shares. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which permit management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements.
The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the money
market fund and the income fund:
SECURITY VALUATION.
INCOME FUND. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix system
and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider market
transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Securities including
restricted securities for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not
readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
MONEY MARKET FUND. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for
the fiscal year. The schedules of investments include information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned. For the
money market fund, accretion of market discount represents unrealized gain
until realized at the time of a security disposition or maturity.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions to shareholders from
realized capital gains on investments, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions, market discount, capital loss carryforwards and
losses deferred due to wash sales and futures and options. The fund also
utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of
shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net interest income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss). Accumulated undistributed net realized gain
(loss) on investments may include temporary book and tax basis differences
which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain
remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares held in the income fund less than 180 days are
subject to a redemption fee equal to .50% of the proceeds of the redeemed
shares. The fee, which is retained by the income fund, is accounted for as
an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the funds may invest in the Municipal
Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas, an affiliate of
Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is an open-end
money market fund available only to investment companies and other accounts
managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of
capital, liquidity, and current income by investing in high-quality,
short-term municipal securities of various states and municipalities.
Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions received by the funds are
recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The funds are permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding
restricted securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at
the end of each applicable fund's schedule of investments. At the end of
the period, the funds had no investments in restricted securities
(excluding 144A issues).
2. OPERATING POLICIES -
CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The income fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying
futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument,
while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts
involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures
variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end
is shown in the schedule of investments under the caption "Futures
Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying
instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the
contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established
each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
INCOME FUND. Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term
securities, aggregated $14,404,136 and $19,723,101, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $16,806,294 and $8,409,632, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR pays all expenses,
except the compensation of the non-interested Trustees and certain
exceptions such as interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary
expenses. FMR receives a fee that is computed daily at an annual rate of
.55% and .50% of average net assets for the income and money market funds,
respectively.
FMR also bears the cost of providing shareholder services to each fund. To
offset the cost of providing these services, FMR or its affiliates
collected certain transaction fees from shareholders which amounted to $790
and $1,163 for the income and money market funds, respectively. Effective
April 1, 1997, the transaction fees were eliminated for the income fund.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the money market fund's investment sub-adviser, FMR
Texas Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of
50% of the management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any
voluntary expense reimbursements which may be in effect.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has entered into arrangements on behalf of each fund with the fund's
custodian and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of
uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's
expenses. During the period, the income and money market funds' expenses
were reduced by $7,271 and $1,964 respectively, under these arrangements.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(PHOTO_OF_EDWARD_C_JOHNSON_3D)DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Through the first five months of 1997, stock and bond markets experienced
the kind of short-term volatility that can affect them from time to time.
After climbing steadily upward for more than two years, stock prices saw a
sharp correction in late March and early April. Returns in the bond market
were essentially stagnant as the Federal Reserve Board implemented a
long-expected increase in short-term interest rates at the end of March.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets with
any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that can help
investors plan for their future needs.
The longer your investment time frame, the less likely it is that you will
be affected by short-term market volatility. A 10-year investment horizon
appropriate for saving for a college education, for example, enables you to
weather market cycles in a long-term fund, which may have a higher risk
potential, but also has a higher potential rate of return.
An intermediate-length fund could make sense if your investment horizon is
two to four years, while a short-term bond fund could be the right choice
if you need your money in one or two years.
If your time horizon is less than a year, you might want to consider moving
some of your bond investment into a money market fund. These funds seek
income and a stable share price by investing in high-quality, short-term
investments. Of course, it's important to remember that there is no
assurance that a money market fund will achieve its goal of maintaining a
stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, and that these types of funds
are neither insured nor guaranteed by any agency of the U.S. government.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it makes
good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a certain amount
of money in a fund at the same time each month or quarter and periodically
reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing so, you won't get caught up in
the excitement of a rapidly rising market, nor will you buy all your shares
at market highs. While this strategy - known as dollar cost averaging -
won't assure a profit or protect you from a loss in a declining market, it
should help you lower the average cost of your purchases.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888. We are available
24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide you the information you need
to make the investments that are right for you.
Best regards,

PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return
reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of
the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the
sale of securities that have grown in value). You can also look at the
fund's income, as reflected in the fund's yield, to measure performance.
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 1997 PAST 6 PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
MONTHS YEAR YEARS YEARS
Fidelity Municipal Income 1.48% 8.30% 36.46% 114.82%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 1.68% 8.28% 41.75% 123.43%
General Municipal Debt Funds Average 1.36% 7.60% 38.02% 113.73%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10
years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5%
return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index - a total return performance benchmark for
investment-grade municipal bonds with maturities of at least one year. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can
compare it to the general municipal debt funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Analytical Services, Inc. The past six months average represents a peer
group of 237 mutual funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends
and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED MAY 31, 1997 PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
YEAR YEARS YEARS
Fidelity Municipal Income 8.30% 6.41% 7.95%
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index 8.28% 7.23% 8.37%
General Municipal Debt Funds Average 7.60% 6.65% 7.87%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each
year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total returns by annualizing
each fund's total return, then taking an arithmetic average. This may
produce a slightly different figure than that obtained by averaging the
cumulative total returns and annualizing the result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested
in Fidelity Municipal Income Fund on May 31, 1987. As the chart shows, by
May 31, 1997, the value of the investment would have grown to $21,482 - a
114.82% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index did over the same period. With
dividends reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $22,343 - a
123.43% increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is
no guarantee of how it will
do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in
the opposite direction of
interest rates. In turn, the
share price, return and yield
of a fund that invests in
bonds will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might
lose money. But if you can ride
out the market's ups and
downs, you may have a gain.

DIVIDENDS per share show the income paid by the fund for a set period. If
you annualize this number, based on an average share price of $12.19 over
the past one month, $12.21 over the past six months and $12.16 over the
past one year, you can compare the fund's income over these three periods.
The 30-day annualized YIELD is a standard formula for all funds based on
the yields of the bonds in the fund, averaged over the past 30 days. This
figure shows you the yield characteristics of the fund's investments at the
end of the period. It also helps you compare funds from different companies
on an equal basis. The tax-equivalent yield shows what you would have to
earn on a taxable investment to equal the fund's tax-free yield, if you're
in the 36% federal tax bracket, but does not reflect payment of the federal
alternative minimum tax, if applicable.
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
An interview with David Murphy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Municipal
Income Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DAVE?
A. For the six- and 12-month periods that ended May 31, 1997, the fund had
total returns of 1.48% and 8.30%, respectively. For the same six- and
12-month periods, the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index returned 1.68%
and 8.28%, respectively. Additionally, the general municipal debt funds
average returned 1.36% for the same six-month period and 7.60% for the same
12-month period, according to Lipper Analytical Services.
Q. THE PAST SIX MONTHS HAVEN'T BEEN THAT GREAT FOR BONDS . . .
A. That's true, but municipal bonds have performed better than many types
of taxable bonds, including U.S. Treasuries. While all bonds came under
pressure during the past six months because interest rates rose, municipals
were able to best Treasuries because of favorable supply and demand
factors. A lot of the outperformance of munis relative to Treasuries
occurred toward the end of the period when the available supply of tax-free
bonds dropped. From a demand standpoint, it appeared that some investors
began to question the high levels of the stock market and re-directed a
portion of their investment dollars into munis. Additionally, a record
number of munis are expected to be redeemed - or called - by their issuers
before maturity in June and July of this year. Investors began buying
replacements for the bonds that were scheduled to be redeemed, which also
boosted demand.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE KEY ELEMENTS OF YOUR STRATEGY?
A. In terms of which maturity ranges I targeted, I added more bonds with
maturities of between one and five years, because I felt that bonds in this
maturity range had become cheap and offered an appropriate amount of yield
given their maturity. I also sold some bonds with maturities of 20 years
and longer. Here's why: The yield curve - which is a graphical
representation of the yield of bonds by ascending maturity dates -
flattened. By that I mean that up to about a 20-year maturity, an investor
would be paid an appropriate amount of additional income for each
additional year of maturity. It is this additional income that compensates
the investor for the additional risk taken on by investing in the longer
maturity part of the market. But for bonds with maturities of 20 years or
longer, the extra income for each successive year to maturity was not, in
my opinion, attractive enough for the level of risk inherent in these
bonds.
Q. WERE THERE PARTICULAR SECTORS THAT WERE KEYS TO YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Yes. Relative to the fund's benchmark index, I had a heavier weighting
in industrial development bonds. These are bonds from corporate entities
that are issued through municipal authorities for the purpose of economic
development, pollution control or some other reason that is for the public
good. Within the industrial development bond sector, I found attractive
opportunities in energy companies. Many energy companies I emphasized did
quite well, boosted by rising oil prices which, in turn, helped boost
profits. Two of the best performers were bonds issued by Lower Neches
Valley, Texas for Mobil Oil and those issued by Lake Charles, Louisiana for
PanEnergy, which is in the process of being acquired by Duke Power, a
utility company with a strong credit rating. On the flip side, I sold some
airline bonds because the fund had enjoyed strong performance from these
holdings as the industry returned to profitability. In my view, most of
their potential gains had already been realized and I didn't see much
further upside.
Q. DID YOU FOCUS ON A PARTICULAR STATE?
A. I increased the fund's holdings in New York, based on my evaluation that
there would be somewhat of a scarcity of bonds issued in the state in the
second quarter of 1997. After that scarcity materialized and the bonds
performed well relative to other munis, I began to sell some of them,
anticipating more normalized supply levels. I also sold some of the fund's
holdings in bonds from California, which enjoyed relatively strong
performance. Although it seemed appropriate to take some profits, the fund
remained overweighted in the state relative to its benchmark. The state is
enjoying a substantial budget surplus for fiscal year 1998. With the strong
economy and higher tax revenues, the state probably won't need to scramble
to balance its budget next year.
Q. WERE THERE BONDS FROM A PARTICULAR ISSUER THAT HELPED THE FUND? ANY THAT
HURT?
A. Bonds issued by New York City performed well relative to other bonds in
the marketplace. The city's economy continues to expand and tax revenues
have risen, thanks primarily to handsome Wall Street bonuses and rising tax
receipts generated by capital gains on investments. I like the fact that
the city has been reasonably conservative in its budgeting, not relying on
a continuation of a dramatic boost from Wall Street next year. On the
negative side, bonds issued by Michigan Health Care Corporation continued
to be mired in bankruptcy proceedings and hurt the fund's performance. The
issuer is in the process of liquidating assets to meet its debt
obligations.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. During the past several years, the amount of municipal bonds outstanding
has shrunk considerably. More recently, the low supply has helped the
municipal market outperform the taxable bond market. I think that the total
available supply will increase slightly by the end of this year. The
question is, will there be enough demand to digest that supply? In my view,
that will depend on how investors perceive the attractiveness of municipals
relative to other fixed-income and equity choices.

DAVID MURPHY ON
OPPORTUNITIES IN ELECTRIC UTILITY
MUNICIPALS:
"The electric utility industry is
in the early stages of a
transformation from one where
electric providers enjoy
monopolistic strongholds on a
given service area to one
where competition will
probably reign. Given the
changing environment, I have
been focusing on electric
utilities that are either
well-prepared to deal with
increased competition or
those that I believe can meet
competitive challenges down
the road, but have been too
severely penalized by the
market today. Even though it
seems inevitable that
competition will increase, I
believe there will be
opportunities to invest
profitably in this sector."

DURATION SHOWS HOW MUCH A BOND FUND'S PRICE FLUCTUATES WITH CHANGES IN
COMPARABLE INTEREST RATES. IF RATES RISE 1%, FOR EXAMPLE, A FUND WITH A
FIVE-YEAR DURATION IS LIKELY TO LOSE ABOUT 5% OF ITS VALUE. OTHER FACTORS
ALSO CAN INFLUENCE A BOND FUND'S PERFORMANCE AND SHARE PRICE. ACCORDINGLY,
A BOND FUND'S ACTUAL PERFORMANCE MAY DIFFER FROM THIS EXAMPLE.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1997 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Municipal Income Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Court
Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of
shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements have
been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
which permit management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the
date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant
accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities are valued based upon a computerized matrix
system and/or appraisals by a pricing service, both of which consider
market transactions and dealer-supplied valuations. Securities for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not
readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus
accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes substantially all of its
taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments includes
information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax
Information."
INTEREST INCOME. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income. Distributions from realized gains, if
any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences, which may result in distribution
reclassifications, are primarily due to differing treatments for futures
and options transactions, market discount and losses deferred due to wash
sales and futures and options. The fund also utilized earnings and profits
distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the
dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may
affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized
and unrealized gain (loss).
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments may
include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a
subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end
is distributed in the following year.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
MUNICIPAL CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund may invest in the
Municipal Central Cash Fund (the Cash Fund) managed by FMR Texas, an
affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). The Cash Fund is
an open-end money market fund available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income by investing in
high-quality, short-term municipal securities of various states and
municipalities. Income distributions from the Cash Fund are declared daily
and paid monthly from net interest income. Income distributions received by
the fund are recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial
statements.
WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a
when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place a month or more
after the date of the transaction. The price of the underlying securities
is fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The market values of
the securities purchased on a when-issued or forward commitment basis are
identified as such in the fund's schedule of investments. The fund may
receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a when-issued
security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies
securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value at least
equal to the amount of the commitment. The payables and receivables
associated with the purchases and sales of when-issued securities having
the same settlement date and broker are offset. When-issued securities that
have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as
both payables and receivables in the statement of assets and liabilities
under the caption "Delayed delivery." Losses may arise due to changes in
the market value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not
perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities
due to political, economic, or other factors.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying
futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument,
while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument or hedge
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
FUTURES CONTRACTS - CONTINUED
other fund investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the
contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established
each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities that
are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these
securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt
sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the end of the period, the
fund had no investments in restricted securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $359,669,000 and $301,444,000, respectively.
The market value of futures contracts opened and closed during the period
amounted to $63,490,000 and $110,662,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on
the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The
rates ranged from .1100% to .3700% for the period. The annual individual
fund fee rate is .25%. In the event that these rates were lower than the
contractual rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented
the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee.
For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of
.39% of average net assets.
TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES. UMB Bank, n.a. (UMB) is the custodian
and transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the fund. The Bank has
entered into a sub-contract with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, under which FSC performs the activities associated with
the fund's transfer and shareholder servicing agent and accounting
functions. The fund pays account fees and asset-based fees that vary
according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting,
printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
The accounting fee is based on the level

TRANSFER AGENT AND ACCOUNTING FEES - CONTINUED
of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses. For the
period, FSC received transfer agent and accounting fees amounting to
$1,019,000 and $210,000, respectively.
For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized
rate of .12% of average net assets.
5. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
The fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian and transfer
agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were
used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During the period, the
fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were reduced by $1,000 and $6,000,
respectively, under these arrangements.
6. PROPOSED REORGANIZATION.
The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Municipal Income Fund has approved
Agreements and Plans of Reorganization ("Agreements") between the fund and
Spartan Municipal Income Fund, Spartan Arizona Municipal Income fund, and
Spartan Maryland Municipal Income Fund ("Target Funds")
("Reorganizations"). The Agreements provide for the transfer of all of the
assets and the assumption of all of the liabilities of each Target Fund in
exchange solely for the number of shares of the fund having the
same aggregate net asset value as the outstanding shares of the Target
Funds at the close of business on the day that the Reorganizations are
effective. A Reorganization can be consummated only if, among other things,
it is approved by the vote of a majority (as defined by the Investment
Company Act of 1940) of outstanding voting securities of the Target Fund to
which the Reorganization relates. A Special Meeting of Shareholders
("Meeting") of the Target Funds will be held on October 6, 1997 to vote on
the Agreements. A detailed description of the proposed transactions and
voting information will be sent to shareholders of the Target Funds in
August, 1997. If the Agreements are approved at the Meeting, the
Reorganizations are expected to become effective on or about October 23,
1997.
