RE: Registration Statement No. 2-83024
Gentlemen:
I have served as counsel to the Phoenix California Tax Exempt Bonds,
Inc. in connection with the registration on Form N-1A of an indefinite number of
its shares of beneficial interest under the Securities Act of 1933 and the
subsequent notification with respect to 538,462 such shares sold in reliance
upon Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1995 (the "Shares").
Based on my review of the relevant materials, it is my opinion that the
Shares are duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. I consent to the use of
this opinion in connection with the Rule 24f-2 Notice to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Patricia O. McLaughlin
