Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust
380 Madison Avenue, Suite 2300

Gentlemen:
You have requested that we render an opinion to
Hawaiian Tax-Free Trust (the "Trust") with respect to
the matters described in Rule 24f-2(b)(1) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") which
you are required to file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") together with a
Rule 24f-2 Notice for the fiscal year of the Trust
ended March 31, 1996 (the "Notice").
We have examined originals or copies, identified
to our satisfaction as being true copies, of those
corporate records of the Trust, certificates of public
officials, and other documents and matters as we have
deemed necessary for the purpose of this opinion. We
have assumed without independent verification the
authenticity of the documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity to the original documents
of all documents submitted to us as copies.
Upon the basis of the foregoing and in reliance
upon such other matters as we deem relevant under the
circumstances, it is our opinion that the shares of the
Trust, the registration of which is made definite by
the accompanying Notice, were legally issued by the
Trust, are fully paid and are non-assessable to the
extent set forth in its prospectus and/or statement of
additional information forming part of its registration
statement under the Securities Act of 1933.
We have not verified, are not passing upon and do
not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of the statements contained in the Notice,
or for the propriety of the filing of the Notice with
the Commission.
This letter is furnished to you pursuant to your
request and to the requirements imposed upon you by
Rule 24f-2(b)(1) under the Act and is intended solely
for your use for the purpose of completing the filing
of the Notice with the Commission. This letter may not
be used for any other purpose or furnished to or relied
upon by any other persons, or included in any filing
made with any other regulatory authority, without our
prior written consent.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion
with said Notice.
Very truly yours,
HOLLYER BRADY SMITH TROXELL
