SHAREHOLDER LETTER

Dear Shareholder:

It's a pleasure to bring you Franklin California Tax-Free Income Fund's annual
report for the period ended March 31, 1999.

During the 12 months under review, the municipal bond market was comparatively
stable in what could otherwise be characterized as a challenging year for global
and domestic markets. The economic stress felt in Asia, Latin America and
Eastern Europe caused many investors to seek safety in U.S. Treasury bonds,
driving yields on the 30-year Treasury bond to an all-time low of 4.70% on
October 5, 1998. These regions had a direct impact on the U.S. economy as
foreign countries purchased fewer American goods, leading to an overall
reduction in U.S. export levels. In light of reduced export levels, it was
expected that the U.S. economy would see some slowing in the fourth quarter of
1998. However, 1998 fourth quarter growth actually exceeded expectations, and
the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annualized rate of 6%. The
American consumer boosted the domestic economy at much higher-than-anticipated
levels, which resulted in the Federal Reserve Board's (the Fed's) moving to a
neutral position with respect to short-term interest rates, rather than its
previous bias toward lowering rates that began in 1998. The change in the Fed's
position in large part caused 30-year Treasury yields to rise, reaching a peak
of 5.69% on March 4, 1999.

The municipal bond market remained steady throughout the Treasury market
volatility as a period of increased municipal bond supply more than met demand.
As interest rates declined, municipal bond issuers increased their refinancing
activity of outstanding, higher interest-rate debt. In addition, many
municipalities were in excellent fiscal condition due to the strong national
economy, which gave them higher confidence to borrow money for new projects.
These two conditions led to a surge in 1998's new-issue supply with total volume
closely matching 1993's record $293 billion. Although demand from individual
investors was relatively stable, at times, the municipal bond market had
difficulty absorbing the large supply of bonds. This environment led to superior
municipal bond yields, as municipal bond prices lagged those of similar Treasury
bonds. To put it in perspective, in October 1998 an investor could purchase a
30-year, AAA municipal bond yielding approximately 105% of the yield on a
comparable Treasury bond, versus the historical average of approximately 89%.
The last time we saw such attractive municipal market valuations was 1985 and
1986.

As Treasury yields rose in the first quarter of 1998, the yield on the Bond
Buyer 40 index increased to 5.27%, and the municipal-to-Treasury yield ratio
declined to 92%.* Municipals generally trade at yields below Treasuries due to
their tax-exempt status, and the ratio of municipal to Treasury yields
historically has been in the range of 87% to 89%. The above-average ratio of
municipals to Treasuries has allowed municipal investors to earn attractive
distribution rates relative to other fixed-income opportunities.


*  The unmanaged Bond Buyer Municipal 40 Index is composed of the Yield to
Maturity of 40 bonds. The index attempts to track the new-issue market as
closely as possible, so it changes bonds twice a month, adding all new bonds
that meet certain requirements and deleting an equivalent number according to
their secondary market trading activity. As a result, the average par call date,
average maturity date and average coupon rate change over time. The average
maturity generally has been about 29-30 years.

The prevalence of bond insurance was another trend that affected the municipal
bond market. The increasingly higher percentages of AAA-insured municipal bond
issues coming to market over the past four years seems to have finally peaked at
approximately 59.8% for California issuers in 1998.** As so many new bonds have
come to market insured, there have been fewer and fewer uninsured bonds. With
investors continuing to demand higher yields in a falling interest-rate
environment, municipal bond market credit spreads, or the additional interest
rate paid to investors for AAA- versus BBB-rated bonds, were extremely narrow.
Over the past few years, in contrast, we focused for the most part on purchasing
AAA-insured securities because we felt we weren't getting the appropriate reward
of higher interest rates, to take on the additional credit risk of many
lower-quality bonds. As a result, Franklin California Tax-Free Income Fund held
a record-high percentage of net assets invested in AAA bonds at the fund's
fiscal year-end.

WHAT DOES "TAXABLE EQUIVALENT" MEAN FOR YOU?

For yield and distribution rate, taxable equivalent is the amount a taxable
investment would have to earn to match the income from a tax-free investment
such as a municipal bond. You can find your fund's taxable equivalent
distribution rate and yield in the Performance Summary of this
report.

Looking forward, we anticipate supply pressures to moderate in 1999. Already,
municipal new issuance for the first quarter of the year was down about 19.3%,
compared with the same period last calendar year.*** Municipal bonds continue to
be an attractive investment for those investors seeking tax-free income as well
as an opportunity to diversify risk in their portfolio. Generally, a taxable
investment would need to offer a higher yield, called the taxable equivalent
yield, to match the yield on a tax-free investment. We encourage you to discuss
your financial goals with an investment representative. He or she can address

A WORD ABOUT
MUNICIPAL BOND INSURANCE

[SPECIAL FEATURE GRAPHIC]

Municipal bond insurers guarantee the timely payment of interest and principal
on insured bond issues, providing bond investors with additional protection
against the potential of the issuer's payment default. Moody's and Standard &
Poor's assign the four principal municipal bond insurers -- MBIA, AMBAC, FGIC
and FSA -- their highest rating, AAA, based on their ability to pay claims. This
is important, as once a bond is insured it no longer carries the underlying
security's rating, but the insurer's rating. In 1998, the four primary municipal
bond insurers comprised more than 98% of the market, with MBIA controlling the
largest share, 35.4%.

Municipal bond insurers often work with bond reinsurers to enhance their ability
to generate new business. By purchasing portions of insured bond portfolios from
the insurers, bond reinsurers assume a portion of the risk, freeing up the
insurers' capital and enabling them to insure additional municipal bond issues.
The added capital provided by the reinsurers, in turn, increases the overall
size of the insured municipal bond market.

                                                                               5

Other                                1.5%
</TABLE>

Currently, many municipal bond issuers favor the use of bond insurance. In 1998,
municipal bond insurers covered 50.8% of the new-issue municipal bond market,
involving 5,825 new issues valued at $145 billion. For issuers, obtaining bond
insurance can often lower their borrowing costs as it often improves their
credit rating, which more than makes up for the cost of the insurance. In
addition, the four primary, AAA-rated bond insurers presently charge issuers
comparatively inexpensive insurance premiums, due to the extremely competitive
environment for municipal bond insurance. Bond insurance also enables issuers to
market their bonds to a larger pool of potential buyers. For example, insured
municipal bond funds purchase primarily, if not exclusively, insured bonds.

Low-cost municipal bond insurance benefits investors beyond the credit
protection it provides against payment default. As insured bonds appeal to a
wider variety of investors, insurance can lead to improved liquidity, allowing
investors to more easily buy and sell bonds.

CALIFORNIA ECONOMIC UPDATE

California's economy prospered during the year under review. According to the
state's annual job report, California added 454,000 nonfarm jobs, more than any
time in the past 15 years.(2) These new jobs reflected a decade-long shift in
the state's key industries, with computers, software and entertainment
overtaking traditional manufacturing sectors such as cars, airplanes and steel
in importance. California home sales, another economic health indicator, reached
their highest level since 1989.(3) Many renters were able to benefit from low
mortgage rates and secure employment to become first-time buyers.

Despite California's economic ties to Asia, several factors insulated the
state's economy from problems affecting that region during the year under
review. First, export losses to Asia were offset by gains to higher growth
regions or nations, such as Europe, Canada, Mexico and South America. Second,
only two of the

state's major industries, aerospace and technology, depended on Asia for a large
percentage of their earnings. Third, many of the state's premier industries,
such as media, transportation and financial services, cater to a national or
regional market. However, continued Asian troubles may bring about further
California export declines with corresponding production cutbacks and layoffs in
the future. Their impact has been limited so far because of the time it takes
for export declines to affect jobs and spending.

Overall, California boasts a rosy fiscal outlook. Taxes generated by the growing
economy should pump an extra $1.3 billion into the state's accounts in the
upcoming months, according to a legislative analyst who attributed the
unanticipated windfall chiefly to capital gains taxes on profits made by stock
market investors.(4)

PORTFOLIO NOTES

As in the previous reporting period, many California municipalities took
advantage of declining interest rates to issue new securities and to refinance
outstanding debt. Widespread, relatively inexpensive bond insurance led to many
new issues being insured. As for refinancing, over one billion dollars worth of
the fund's bonds, many of them prerefunded, were called during the reporting
period. When a bond is prerefunded, a new issue is brought to market with a
lower interest rate to pay off the older issue at its first call date. In most
cases, the proceeds from the sale of the new bonds are invested in U.S. Treasury
securities that mature on the first call date of the original bonds. Because of
the U.S. Treasury backing, prerefunded bonds usually offer a substantial price
increase -- depending on their call date.

Generally, we look to sell prerefunded bonds as they approach five years to
their call date. At this point, the premium on prerefunded bonds often begins to
decline rapidly to the stated call

price. Our strategy aims to capture the bond's premium, increase the fund's call
protection and protect its share value. During the reporting period, we
attempted to reduce the number of prerefunded bonds to about 10% of the fund's
portfolio. However, due to the high number of refundings, the fund's prerefunded
bond holdings increased slightly to about 16% of the portfolio on March 31,
1999, compared with 14.1% on March 31, 1998. At the same time, the average call
protection for fund issues increased to a weighted average life to first call of
5.8 years at the end of the reporting period, versus 5.4 years on March 31,
1998. The fund profited by selling many of its prerefunded securities for more
than it paid. Therefore, it made long-term capital gain distributions totaling
2.38 cents per share in June and December 1998, and may make another capital
gain distribution in June 1999.

Please keep in mind that the fund can distribute only what it earns. 1998 was an
anomaly with about 10% of Franklin California Tax-Free Income Fund's portfolio
being called. We invested new money and proceeds from bond sales and called
bonds in current coupon bonds at a slight discount. While the called bonds had
an average coupon of more than 7%, most new purchases were insured bonds whose
coupons, ranging from 4 3/4% to 5 1/4%, reflected the recent lower interest-rate
and inflation environment. This put pressure on the fund's overall income
earnings, causing its dividend distributions to decrease slightly during the
year under review. It is important to note that the portfolio maintained its
high quality, with approximately 49% insured bonds and 60% AAA-quality bonds, as
of March 31, 1999. We emphasize that we have not changed our philosophy of
investing for income and share value stability. We believe that the fund should
rank favorably when compared with other fixed-income investment alternatives.

During the fund's next fiscal year, we expect approximately $400 million worth
of bonds, or two percent of the fund's portfolio, to be called. This should
leave about 13% of the portfolio prerefunded,


                                                                               9

which we will try to reduce to our goal of 10%. We expect California's need for
infrastructure to assure sufficient bond supply to fill our needs. In this
environment, the fund should perform well.

As always, we encourage investors to maintain a long-term investment
perspective. If you had invested $10,000 in the fund's Class A shares on March
31, 1989, as of March 31, 1999, you would have received monthly tax-free income
dividend checks totaling more than $6,400. If you had reinvested all your
distributions, including capital gains, your account would have been worth
$20,108.(5) In both cases, the fund has provided shareholders attractive
returns. Of course, this was a period of generally declining interest rates and
rising bond prices, and past performance cannot guarantee future results.

Please remember, this discussion reflects our views, opinions and portfolio
holdings as of March 31, 1999, the end of the reporting period. However, market
and economic conditions are changing constantly, which can be expected to affect
our strategies and the fund's portfolio composition. Although historical
performance is no guarantee of future results, these insights may help you
understand our investment and management philosophy.

CLASS A (formerly Class I):

Subject to the current, maximum 4.25% initial sales charge. Prior to July 1,
1994, fund shares were offered at a lower initial sales charge; thus actual
total returns may differ. Effective May 1, 1994, the fund eliminated the sales
charge on reinvested dividends and implemented a Rule 12b-1 plan, which affects
subsequent performance.

CLASS B:

Subject to no initial sales charge, but subject to a contingent deferred sales
charge (CDSC) declining from 4% to 0% over six years. These shares have higher
annual fees and expenses than Class A shares.

CLASS C (formerly Class II):

Subject to 1% initial sales charge and 1% CDSC for shares redeemed within 18
months of investment. These shares have higher annual fees and expenses than
Class A shares.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY AS OF 3/31/99

Distributions will vary based on earnings of the fund's portfolio and any
profits realized from the sale of the portfolio's securities. Past distributions
are not indicative of future trends. All total returns include reinvested
distributions at net asset value.

(1.) Cumulative total return represents the change in value of an investment
over the periods indicated and does not include sales charges.

(2.) Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value
of an investment over the periods indicated and includes the current,
applicable, maximum sales charge(s) for that class. Since Class B shares have
existed for less than one year, the figures for that class represent aggregate
total return from inception; therefore, average annual total returns are not
provided.

(3.) Distribution rate is based on an annualization of the respective class's
March monthly dividend and the maximum offering price per share on March 31,
1999.

(4.) Taxable equivalent distribution rate and yield assume the 1999 maximum
combined federal and California state personal income tax bracket of 45.2%,
based on the federal income tax rate of 39.6%.

(5.) Yield, calculated as required by the SEC, is based on the earnings of the
fund's portfolio for the 30 days ended March 31, 1999.

Bond prices, and thus the fund's share price, generally move in the opposite
direction from interest rates. Since markets can go down as well as up,
investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, and
you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares.

TOTAL RETURN INDEX COMPARISON
FOR HYPOTHETICAL $10,000 INVESTMENT

Total return represents the change in value of an investment over
the periods shown. It includes the current, applicable, maximum sales charge(s),
fund expenses, account fees and reinvested distributions. The unmanaged index
differs from the fund in composition, does not pay management fees or expenses
and includes reinvested dividends. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Performance of the fund's shares exceeded the rate of inflation as measured by
the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The following line graph compares the performance of the Franklin California
Tax-Free Income Fund's Class A shares to that of the Lehman Brothers Municipal
Bond Index, and to the Consumer Price Index based on a $10,000 investment from
4/1/89 to 3/31/99.

within the range of the latest quoted bid and asked prices. In the absence of a
sale or reported bid and asked prices, information with respect to bond and note
transactions, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable
securities, and various relationships between securities are used to determine
the value of the security. The Fund may utilize a pricing service, bank or
broker/dealer experienced in such matters to perform any of the pricing
functions under procedures approved by the Board of Directors. Securities for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as
determined by management in accordance with procedures established by the Board
of Directors.

b. INCOME TAXES

No provision has been made for income taxes because the Fund's policy is to
qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to
distribute all of its taxable income.

c. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses
on security transactions are determined on a specific identification basis.
Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Bond discount and
premium are amortized on an income tax basis. Distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income, other than
class specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon
the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

d. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the amounts of income and expense during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


2. CAPITAL STOCK

The Fund offers three classes of shares: Class A, Class B and Class C. Effective
January 1, 1999, Class I and II were renamed Class A and Class C, respectively,
and the fund began offering a new class of shares, Class B. Each class of shares
differs by its initial sales load, distribution fees, voting rights on matters
affecting a single class and its exchange privilege.

</TABLE>

Net realized capital gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily due to differing treatment of wash sales.


5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
