Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to New York Daily Tax Free Income Fund, Inc. a
Maryland Corporation (the "Fund"), in connection with the preparation
and filing of Registration Statement No. 2-89264 on Form N-1A pursuant to Rule
24e-2 of the Securities Act of 1933 registering the issuance of (the
"Registration Statement") 22,595,919.96 shares of Common Stock, par value
$.001 per share, of the Fund.
We have examined copies of the Articles of Incorporation, as ammended
and By-Laws of the Fund, the Registration Statement, and such other corporate
records, proceedings and documents, including the consent of the Board of
Directors and the minutes of the meeting of the Board ofDirectors of the Fund,
as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion. We have also
examined such other documents, papers, statutes and authorities as we deemed
necessary to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In our
examination of such material, we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures and the conformity to original documents of all copies
submitted to us. As to various questions of fact material to such opinion,
we have relied upon statements and certificates of officers and
representatives of the Fund and others.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the 22,595,919.96
shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Fund, to be issued in
accordance with the terms of the offering, as set forth in the Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information included as part of the Registration
Statement and in accordance with applicable state securities laws, when so
issued and paid for, will constitute validly authorized and legally issued
shares of Common Stock, fully paid and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to us in the Registration Statement
under the heading "Federal Income Taxes" in the Prospectus and in the Statement
of Additional Information, and under the heading "Counsel and Auditors" in the
Statement of Additional Information.
Very truly yours,
BATTLE FOWLER LLP
