Delaware Group Tax-Free Money Fund, Inc.
One Commerce Square
Philadelphia, PA 19103
Gentlemen:
You have informed us that, in accordance with Rule 24f-2
(the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
(the "1940 Act"), Delaware Group Tax-Free Money Fund, Inc. (the
"Company"), a Maryland corporation, intends to file a Rule 24f-2
Notice with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Notice will recite that pursuant to the Rule the Company,
during the fiscal year ending April 30, 1996, sold shares of common
stock of its Tax-Free Money Fund A Class and shares of its Tax-Free
Money Fund Consultant Class valued at an aggregate offering price
of $47,646,505 (not including $1,326,062 of shares issued in
connection with dividend reinvestment plans which are reported on
the Notice for purposes of the fee computation table). The Notice
will be filed to make definite the registration of the shares of
such classes of its common stock sold by the Company under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") for such period. You have
also informed us that all of such shares were issued in accordance
with the provisions relating thereto in the registration statement
filed by the Company under the 1933 Act as such registration
statement was currently in effect during the period.
We have acted as legal counsel to the Company during the
period of time referred to above and, as such, have reviewed the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company; its By-Laws; its
registration statements under the 1940 and 1933 Acts and such
minutes of the corporate proceedings and other documents as we deem
material to our opinion.
<PAGE>
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that all of
the shares of common stock of the Company described in the Rule
24f-2 Notice as having been sold during the fiscal year were fully-
paid, non-assessable and legally issued shares of common stock of
the Company.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit or
accompaniment to the aforementioned Rule 24f-2 Notice and as an
exhibit to the Company's registration statement under the 1933 Act
and to the reference to us in the prospectus of the Company as
legal counsel who have passed upon the legality of the offering of
the Company's common stock. We also consent to the filing of this
opinion with the securities regulatory agencies of any states or
other jurisdictions in which the common stock of the Company is
offered for sale.
Very truly yours,
STRADLEY, RONON, STEVENS & YOUNG, LLP
