Mr. John Costello
Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity Advisor Series IV
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, MA 02109
Dear Mr. Costello:
Fidelity Income Trust (the "Trust") is a Massachusetts business
trust created under a written Declaration of Trust under the name
First Income Portfolio: Intermediate, dated, executed and
delivered in Boston on May 6, 1983. The name of the Trust was
changed to Fixed Income Portfolios by Supplement to the
Declaration of Trust, dated and executed on July 22, 1983 and
delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on July 26, 1983. The
Declaration of Trust was Amended and Restated effective and
executed October 26, 1984, and delivered in Boston,
Massachusetts on November 7, 1984. The name of the Trust was
changed to Income Portfolios by Supplement to the Declaration
of Trust, dated, executed and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts
on March 3, 1987. A Supplement to the Declaration of Trust,
effective October 1, 1987, was executed on September 30, 1987
and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on October 19, 1987.
Further, a Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, effective
January 1, 1989, was executed on December 30, 1988 and
delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on January 17, 1989. The
name of the Trust was changed to Fidelity Income Trust by a
Supplement to the Declaration of Trust, dated, executed and
delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on January 8, 1992. The
name of the trust was again changed to Fidelity Advisor Series
IV by an Amendment to the Declaration of Trust executed on
May 3, 1993 and delivered in Boston, Massachusetts on May 5,
1993.
I have conducted such legal and factual inquiry as I have deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Under Article III, Section 1, of the Declaration of Trust, the
beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into separate and
distinct Series as the Trustees shall from time to time create and
establish. The number of Shares is unlimited and each Share is
without par value and shall be fully paid and nonassessable. The
Trustees shall have full power and authority, in their sole
discretion and without obtaining any prior authorization or vote
of the Trust, to create and establish (and to change in any
manner) Shares with such preferences, voting powers, rights and
privileges as the Trustees may from time to time determine, to
divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number, to
classify or reclassify any issued Shares into one or more Series of
Shares, to abolish any one or more Series of Shares and to take
such other action with respect to the Shares as the Trustees may
deem desirable.
Under Article III, Section 4, the Trustees shall accept
investments in the Trust from such persons and on such terms as
they may from time to time authorize. Such investments may be
in the form of cash or securities in which the appropriate Series is
authorized to invest, valued as provided in Article X, Section 3.
After the date of the initial contribution of capital, the number of
Shares to represent the initial contribution may in the Trustees'
discretion be considered as outstanding and the amount received
by the Trustees on account of the contribution shall be treated as
an asset of the Trust. Subsequent investments in the Trust shall
be credited to each Shareholder's account in the form of full
Shares at the Net Asset Value per Share next determined after the
investment is received; provided, however, that the Trustees
may, in their sole discretion, (a) impose a sales charge upon
investments in the Trust and (b) issue fractional Shares.
By a vote adopted on June 21, 1983, as amended February 22,
1985, the Board of Trustees authorized the issue and sale, from
time to time, of an unlimited number of shares of the beneficial
interest of this Trust in accordance with the terms included in
each fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
and subject to the limitations of the Declaration of Trust and any
amendments thereto.
I understand from you that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust has registered an
indefinite number of Shares of beneficial interest under the
Securities Act of 1933. I further understand that, pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 24f-2, the Trust intends to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a notice making definite the
registration of 46,692,412 shares of the Trust sold in reliance
upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended November 30,
1993.
I am of the opinion that all necessary Trust action precedent to
the issue of the Shares, has been duly taken and that all the
Shares were legally and validly issued, and are fully paid and
nonassessable except as described in each fund's Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information dated January 29, 1993 and
August 31, 1993, respectively, under the heading "Description of
the Trust." In rendering this opinion, I rely on the representation
by the Trust that it or its agents received consideration for the
Shares in accordance with the Trust's Declaration of Trust, and I
express no opinion as to the compliance with the Securities Act of
1933, the Investment Company Act of 1940, or applicable state
"Blue Sky" or securities laws in connection with sales of Shares.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities
and Exchange Commission in connection with a Rule 24f-2
Notice that you are about to file under the 1940 Act with said
Commission.
Sincerely,
/s/ Arthur S. Loring, Esq.
