  FUND OBJECTIVE

  The Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund is managed to provide investors
  with a high level of income exempt from regular federal, New York state and
  New York City personal income taxes through a diversified portfolio of
  municipal securities.*

                                                                January 20, 1995

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to bring you the semi-annual report for the Franklin New York
Tax-Free Income Fund for the period ended November 30, 1994.

A sharp and persistent increase in interest rates was the primary factor
affecting fixed-income investments throughout 1994. Although economic data has
yet to show a significant increase in inflation, the Federal Reserve Board
raised short-term interest rates in order to control the increases in inflation
that usually accompany economic recoveries. During the 1994 calendar year, the
Federal Reserve Board raised short-term rates six times, from 3.00% to 5.50%.

The first six months of 1994 were generally unfavorable to the bond markets.
Uncertainty surrounding the weakness of the dollar, renewed fears of inflation,
and rising interest rates created significant price volatility across all bond
markets. Since bond prices generally fall when interest rates rise, the
downturn in municipal bond prices was not unexpected. However, two factors 
helped to buoy prices. First, actual reported inflation in the U.S. remained 
relatively low, causing the fundamental value of bonds to appear very 
attractive. Second, the municipal supply was low, approximately 60% of last 
year's issuance, according to Bond Buyer. This lack of supply, coupled with a 
constant level of demand, enabled the municipal bond market to outperform the 
20- and 30-year U.S. Treasury bond market over the reporting period.**

New York's economic recovery has been slower than the nation's rate of recovery
as a whole. The state lost more than 560,000 jobs during the recession, and
employment is not expected to reach pre-recession levels until 1998.+

Nonetheless, the state's economy remains diverse, with services and trade
sectors accounting for 31% and 20%, respectively, of all employment. New York
City and Nassau County account for 60% of the state's total employment, and are
the largest contributors to New York's downstate economy. Despite the
recession's negative effects on the state, financial performance has shown
signs of improvement and management believes the outlook for New York municipal 
bonds remains

of these dividends may be subject to such tax. Distributions of capital gains 
and of ordinary income from accrued market discount, if any, are generally
taxable.

positive. Additionally, economic reforms proposed by newly elected Governor
George Pataki should have a positive effect on the New York municipal market in
the second half of the fund's upcoming fiscal year.

Franklin takes a conservative approach in the management of your fund. National
rating services such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and our own in-house rating
system, provide the fund's analysts with an evaluation of each bond issuer's
credit quality. As of November 30, 1994, over 71% of the fund's assets were
invested in municipal securities rated A or better, or in securities judged by
Franklin to be of comparable quality. Over 39% were rated AAA or equivalent,
the highest rating available. These ratings, while not guaranteeing the fund's
market value or signifying approval of the shares by national ratings agencies,
reflect the quality of the bonds as described in the fund's prospectus and are
subject to change.

Franklin's professional management team draws from its extensive experience to
perform a thorough analysis of the municipal market. This allows the fund's
managers to choose municipal issues they believe offer shareholders the
strongest potential for income. On November 30, 1994, your fund held over 397
positions, diversified across the state and among various municipal bond
sectors such as housing, utilities, transportation and hospitals.

This broad diversification can lower the risks associated with investing
directly in municipal bonds by spreading the fund's investments over a variety
of issues and industries.

                 [GRAPHIC MATERIAL (1) OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX]

In March of this year, immediately after what proved to be the high point in
the municipal market, management began to sell the lowest coupon bonds in the
fund's portfolio and to move into higher coupons. As the market continued to 
decline, management accelerated this program, which had, and continues to have, 
several positive influences on the fund. First, it has improved the income 
generated by the fund. Second, higher coupon bonds tend to be less volatile 
than those with lower coupons. Third, the resulting realized losses can be 
carried forward for eight years. This enables the portfolio manager to sell 
prerefunded and other high coupon bonds at a premium without creating the need 
for a capital gains distribution, which is taxable to shareholders and may 
erode the fund's value. 

We are pleased to report that the results of this investment approach earned
the Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund a 5-star rating -- the highest 
available -- from Morningstar, a well-





                                       2

known mutual fund rating organization.* In addition, the fund was ranked #3 
out of 69 funds for total return by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc., for the 
one-year period ended November 30, 1994.+

The Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund invests solely in municipal
securities within the top four quality ratings categories, or in securities
judged internally to be of comparable credit quality. Investing in municipal
bonds, however, is more complex today than in the past. Various investment
vehicles have been derived from municipal securities in an attempt to increase
yield to investors. Exotic derivative issues such as inverse floaters and other
customized contracts are structured to the specifications of the issuer, and
may exhibit extreme interest rate sensitivity and/or illiquidity. Many of these
derivative securities are fairly new to the marketplace and have no long-term
performance records. THEREFORE, THE MANAGERS OF YOUR FUND DO NOT PURCHASE AND
HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THESE TYPES OF DERIVATIVES. It is important to remember,
however, that price fluctuations are unavoidable and your account's value will
vary with market conditions, so that you may have a gain or loss when you sell
your shares.

As a Franklin shareholder, you receive the benefits of diversification,
professional management and dedicated service. We appreciate your participation
in the Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund and look forward to serving your
investment needs in the future.

Sincerely,

CHARLES B. JOHNSON

historical risk-adjusted performance and are subject to change every month.
Funds' returns are adjusted for fees and sales loads. Morningstar ratings are
calculated from the fund's three-, five- and ten-year average annual total
returns in excess of 90-Day Treasury bill returns with appropriate fee
adjustments, and a risk factor that reflects fund performance below 90-Day
T-bill returns. Ten percent of the funds in an investment category receive five
stars. The fund was rated 5 stars for the three-, five- and ten-year periods
ended November 30, 1994. 609 municipal funds were rated for the three-year
period, while 436 and 135 funds were rated for the five- and ten-year periods,
respectively, ended November 30, 1994. Past performance cannot guarantee future
results. 

+The fund was ranked #3 out of 69 New York municipal funds in total return for 
the one-year period, #1 out of 35 funds for the five-year period, and #2 out of 
14 funds for the ten-year period ended November 30, 1994, as measured by Lipper 
Analytical Services, Inc., a nationally recognized mutual fund rating 
organization. Lipper rankings do not include sales charges, and may have been
different if such charges had been considered. Past performance is not

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund's share price, as measured by net
asset value, declined from $11.72 on May 31, 1994, to $10.97 on November 30,
1994. This decline was largely due to rising interest rates, as discussed in
the shareholder letter.

The fund continued to meet its investment objective of providing high current
income to shareholders. For the six-month period ended November 30, 1994, your
fund paid income distributions totaling 37.8 cents ($0.378) per share.
Dividends will vary based on the earnings of the fund's portfolio, and past 
distributions are not necessarily predictive of future results.

                          [GRAPHIC MATERIAL (2) OMITTED - SEE APPENDIX]
                          
At the end of the reporting period, your fund's distribution rate was 6.60%, 
based on an annualization of the current monthly dividend of 6.3 cents ($0.063) 
per share and the maximum offering price of $11.46 on November 30, 1994.  This 
tax-free rate is generally higher than the after-tax return on a comparable 
taxable investment.  As the chart to the left illustrates, if you are in the 
maximum 46.9% combined federal, New York state and New York City income tax 
bracket, you would have to earn 12.43% from a taxable investment to match your 
fund's tax-free distribution rate.

Based on this dividend income and change in share price, the fund posted a 
cumulative total return of -3.29% for the six-month period ended November 30, 
1994, and a one-year total return of -3.88%.  Total return measures the change 
in value of an investment over the periods indicated, assuming the reinvestment 
of dividends and capital gains, if any, at net asset value. This calculation 
does not include the initial sales charge, and past performance is not 
predictive of future results.

We have always maintained a long-term investment perspective, and we encourage 
our shareholders to do the same. While the fund may experience share price 
fluctuation from time to time, management believes that its performance will 
be satisfactory over the long term. In fact, for the ten-year period ended 
November 30, 1994, a period of widely fluctuating interest rates, your fund 
delivered an average annual total return of 8.96%.

1.  Cumulative total return measures the change in value of an investment over 
the periods indicated and does not include the maximum 4.25% initial sales 
charge stated in the prospectus.  See note below.

2.  Average annual total return represents the average annual change in value
of an investment over the specified periods and reflects the current maximum 
4.25% initial sales charge stated in the prospectus.  See note below.

3.  Distribution rate is based on an annualization of the fund's current 6.3 
cent per share monthly dividend and the maximum offering price of $11.46 
on November 30, 1994.

4.  Taxable equivalent distribution rate and yield assume the 1994 maximum 
46.9% combined federal, New York state and New York City income tax bracket, 
based on the 39.6% federal income tax rate.

5.  Yield, calculated as required by the SEC, is based on the earnings of the 
fund's portfolio for the 30 days ended November 30, 1994.

Note: Prior to July 1, 1994, fund shares were offered at a lower initial sales 
charge, with dividends reinvested at the public offering price.  Thus, actual 
total returns for purchasers during that period would have been different than 
noted above.  Effective May 1, 1994, the fund implemented a plan of 
distribution under Rule 12b-1 and eliminated the sales charge on reinvested 
dividends, which will affect future performance.  All total return calculations 
assume reinvestment of dividends and capital gains at net asset value.  
Investment return and principal value will fluctuate with market conditions, 
and you may have a gain or loss when you sell your shares.  Past performance 
is not predictive of future results.

FRANKLIN NEW YORK TAX-FREE INCOME FUND, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Franklin New York Tax-Free Income Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is an open-end
diversified  management  investment company (mutual fund), registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently
followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The
policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for
investment companies.

A. SECURITY VALUATIONS: Tax-free bonds generally trade in the over-the-counter
market rather than on a national securities exchange. Often there are no
transactions in a particular security on any given day. In the absence of a
recorded 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 also 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.
Short-term securities and similar investments with remaining maturities of 60
days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

B. INCOME TAXES: The Fund intends to continue to qualify for the tax treatment
applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code
and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders which will be
sufficient to relieve it from income and excise taxes. Therefore, no income 
tax provision is required.

C. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS: Security transactions are accounted for on the date
the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses on
security transactions are determined on the basis of specific identification
for both financial statement and income tax purposes.

D. INVESTMENT INCOME, EXPENSE AND DISTRIBUTIONS: Distributions to shareholders
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and estimated expenses
are accrued daily. Bond discounts and premiums are amortized as required by the
Internal Revenue Code.

Net realized capital losses differ for financial statement and tax purposes
primarily due to differing treatment of wash sale transactions.

E. SECURITIES TRADED ON A WHEN-ISSUED BASIS: The Fund may trade securities on a
when-issued or delayed delivery basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for
a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and are
subject to the risk that the value at delivery may be more or less than the
trade date purchase price. Although the Fund will generally purchase these
securities with the intention of acquiring such securities, they may sell such
securities before the settlement date. These securities are identified on the
accompanying statement of investments in securities and net assets. The Fund
has set aside sufficient investment securities as collateral for these purchase
commitments.


2. DISTRIBUTIONS AND CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS

At May 31, 1994, for tax purposes, the Fund had capital loss carryovers as
follows:

                                                   ===========

appreciation is lower) than for financial reporting purposes at November 30,
