Gentlemen:
You have requested my opinion in connection with the registration by
Intermediate Municipal Trust ("Trust") of an additional 6,500,226 Shares of
Beneficial Interest ("Shares") pursuant to Post-effective Amendment No. 25
to the Trust's registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 2-98237).
The subject Post-effective Amendment will be filed pursuant to Paragraph
(b) of Rule 485 and become effective pursuant to said Rule immediately upon
filing.
As counsel I have participated in the preparation and filing of the
Trust's amended registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
referred to above. Further, I have examined and am familiar with the
provisions of the Declaration of Trust dated May 31, 1985, ("Declaration of
Trust"), the Bylaws of the Trust and such other documents and records
deemed relevant. I have also reviewed questions of law and consulted with
counsel thereon as deemed necessary or appropriate by me for the purposes
of this opinion.
On the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion that:
1. The Trust is duly organized and validly existing under the laws
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
2. The Shares which are currently being registered by the
Registration Statement referred to above may be legally and validly issued
from time to time in accordance with the Declaration of Trust upon receipt
of consideration sufficient to comply with the Declaration of Trust and
subject to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and applicable state laws
regulating the sale of securities. Such Shares, when so issued, will be
fully paid and non-assessable by the Trust.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as a part of the
Trust's registration statement referred to above and as a part of any
application or registration statement filed under the securities laws of
the States of the United States.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United
States and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and I am
expressing no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other
jurisdiction.
Very truly yours,
/s/S. Elliott Cohan
S. Elliott Cohan
Assistant Secretary
