Re: Form 24F-2 for Municipal Fund for California Investors, Inc.;
Registration No. 2-79510
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Municipal Fund for California Investors, Inc.,
a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 of shares of common stock in its
California Money Fund and California Intermediate Municipal Fund, made
definite in number by the Form 24F-2 which this opinion accompanies (the
"Shares").
At all times during the Company's fiscal year ended January 31, 1997 (the
"Fiscal Year"), the Company was authorized to issue a total of three billion
shares of common stock. During the Fiscal Year, all of the Shares were
classified among the portfolios identified above. We have been informed by
the Company that at no time during the Fiscal Year did the number of issued
and outstanding Shares of any portfolio exceed the number of Shares of such
portfolio that the Company was authorized to issue in such portfolio.
We have reviewed the Company's Articles of Incorporation, its by-laws,
resolutions adopted by its Board of Directors and holders of its Shares, and
such other legal and factual matters as we have deemed appropriate, and we
have relied on the accuracy of the information in the Form 24F-2 which this
opinion accompanies.
This opinion is based exclusively on the Maryland General Corporation Law and
the federal law of the United States of America.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares were, when
issued against payment therefor as described in the Company's prospectuses,
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Company.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission as part of the Company's Form 24F-2.
Very truly yours,
/s/Drinker Biddle & Reath
