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 29 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    
 
Redemption fee (as a % of amount redeemed on shares held less    None    
than 180 days)                                                           
 
Exchange Fee                                                     None    
 
Annual account maintenance fee                                   $12.0   
(for accounts under $2,500)                                      0       
 
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each
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. A fund's expenses are factored into its
share price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see page19).
The following figures are based on historical expenses, adjusted to reflect
current fees, and are calculated as a percentage of average net assets.
SPARTAN MA MUNI INCOME 
Management fee (after reimbursement)   .38%   
 
12b-1 fee                              None   
 
Other expenses                         .17%   
 
Total fund operating expenses          .55%   
(after reimbursement)                         
 
EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that each 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. Figures for Massachusetts Municipal Money
Market Fund assume that you leave your account open, and that you close
your account at the end of the period.
SPARTAN MA MUNI INCOME 
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
for Spartan Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund. FMR will reimburse the
fund to the extent that total operating expenses exceed .55%. If this
agreement was not in effect, the management fee and total operating
expenses would be .39% and .56%, respectively.
