EXPENSES 
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you may pay when you buy or
sell shares of a fund. In addition, you may be charged an annual account
maintenance fee if your balance falls below $2,500. See "Transaction
Details," page 25, for an explanation of how and when these charges apply.
Maximum sales charge on purchases      None    
and reinvested distributions                   
 
Deferred sales charge on redemptions   None    
 
Exchange Fee                           None    
 
Annual account maintenance fee         $12.0   
(for accounts under $2,500)            0       
 
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The fund
pays a management fee to FMR. It also incurs other expenses for services
such as maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder
statements and financial reports. The fund's expenses are factored into its
share price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see page 15).
The following figures are based on historical expenses, adjusted to reflect
current fees, and are calculated as a percentage of average net assets.
 
Management fee (after reimbursement)   .34%   
 
12b-1 fee                              None   
 
Other expenses                         .21%   
 
Total fund operating expenses          .55%   
(after reimbursement)                         
 
EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described. For every
$1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses after
the number of years indicated:
After 1 year     $ 6                       
 
After 3 years    $ 18                      
 
After 5 years    $ 31                      
 
After 10 years   $ 69                      
 
These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
Effective April 1, 1997, FMR voluntarily agreed to implement an expense
cap. FMR will reimburse the fund to the extent that total operating
expenses exceeds .55%. The fund has entered into arrangements with its
custodian and transfer agent whereby interest earned on uninvested cash
balances is used to reduce custodian and transfer agent expenses. If these
agreements were not in effect, the management fee and total operating
expenses would be .40% and .61%, respectively.

HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND seeks high current income that is free from
federal income tax by investing primarily in investment-grade municipal
securities. The fund may also invest up to 35% of its assets in below
investment-grade securities. FMR normally invests so that at least 80% of
the fund's assets are invested in municipal securities whose interest is
free from federal income tax.  In addition, FMR may invest all of the
fund's assets in municipal securities issued to finance private activities. 
The interest from these securities is a tax preference item for the
purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax.
Although the fund can invest in securities of any maturity, FMR seeks to
manage the fund so that it generally reacts to changes in interest rates
similarly to municipal bonds with maturities between eight and 18 years. 
As of October 31, 1996, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was
approximately 16.4 years.
Effective March 17, 1997, the following information replaces similar

High Income Municipal currently intends to limit its investments in below
investment-grade securities to less than 35% of its assets and does not

are in default. A security is considered to be investment-grade quality if
it is rated investment-grade by Moody's Investor Service, Standard and
Poor's, Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co., or Fitch Investors Service L.P.,
or is unrated but judged by FMR to be equivalent quality.
