Philadelphia, Pa. 19103
Gentlemen:
You have informed us that, in accordance with
Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of l940, as amended
(the "l940 Act"), Delaware Group Tax-Free Fund, Inc. (the
"Company"), a Maryland corporation, intends to file a Rule 24f-2
Notice with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission,
setting forth, among other things, that during the fiscal year
beginning September l, l994 and ending August 3l, l995, the
Company sold shares of common stock of the Tax-Free USA Fund, of
the Tax-Free Insured Fund, and of the Tax-Free USA Intermediate
Fund, comprised in each case of an A and a B Class, of an
aggregate public offering price of $ 134,908,767 (not including
$29,436,639 of shares issued in connection with dividend
reinvestment plans which are reported on the Notice for purposes
of the fee computation table), and the Notice will be filed to
make definite the registration of the shares of common stock of
these series sold by the Company under the Securities Act of l933
(the "l933 Act") for such period. You have also informed us that
all of such shares were issued in accordance with the provisions
relating thereto in the registration statement filed under the
l933 Act by the Company as such registration statement was
amended and currently in effect during the period.
We have acted as legal counsel to the Company during
the period of time referred to above and, as such, have reviewed
the Articles of Incorporation of the Company; various Articles
Supplementary; the By-Laws; the registration statement under the
l940 and l933 Acts and such minutes of corporate proceedings and
other documents as we deem material to our opinion.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that all
of the shares of common stock of the Company described in the
Rule 24f-2 Notice as having been sold during the period were
fully paid, nonassessable and legally issued shares of common
stock of the respective series of the Company.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as an
exhibit or accompaniment to the aforementioned Rule 24f-2 Notice
and as an exhibit to the Company's registration statement under
the l933 Act and to the reference to us in the prospectus of the
Company as legal counsel who have passed upon the legality of the
offering of the Company's common stock. We also consent to the
filing of this opinion with the securities regulatory agencies of
any states or other jurisdictions in which the common stock of
the Company is offered for sale.
Very truly yours,
STRADLEY, RONON, STEVENS & YOUNG
