URGENT PROXY INFORMATION...
SPARTAN(registered trademark) CALIFORNIA INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL INCOME
FUND
Dear Shareholder:
We recently mailed you a letter asking you to vote on an important proposal
that affects your fund. The proposal is to merge Spartan California
Intermediate Municipal Income Fund (Spartan CA Intermediate) into Fidelity
California Municipal Income Fund (Fidelity CA Income). You may not be aware
that a vote to abstain has the same effect as a vote against a proposal.
Therefore, we would like you to reconsider your vote to abstain and vote
either "Yes" or "No" for the proposal.
(small solid bullet) If you vote "YES", you will be voting in favor of the
merger and expense reduction.
(small solid bullet) If you vote "NO" or "ABSTAIN", you will be voting
against the merger and expense reduction.
In making your decision, please consider the following information:
(small solid bullet) The proposed merger will result in lower expenses.
If shareholders approve the merger, the combined fund will reduce its total
expenses from 0.55% to 0.53% of average net assets, guaranteed through
December 31, 1999. The Board of Trustees of Spartan CA Intermediate
believes that the proposed merger is in the best interests of shareholders.
(small solid bullet) The proposed merger is part of a wider strategy by
Fidelity to reduce the number of municipal bond funds it manages. Spartan
CA Intermediate is one of the smaller municipal bond funds we manage.
Combining it into a larger fund will allow Fidelity to concentrate on a
single, broad-based investment discipline for California investors, and
deliver lower operating expenses as well. Fidelity CA Income generally
invests in securities with somewhat longer maturities than Spartan CA
Intermediate, and therefore, its share price may fluctuate more in response
to changes in interest rates.
We ask that you take the time to vote "Yes" or "No" on this important
proposal. Please reply promptly so that your vote can be counted in
advance of the shareholder meeting scheduled for August 4.
Thank you for your time and careful consideration. If you would like to
change your vote, you may do so via Federal Express, fax, or a simple
telephone call. . D.F. King & Co. Inc., a proxy solicitation firm
assisting Fidelity, may call you shortly to take your vote by telephone, if
