Re: Legal Opinion-Securities Act of 1933
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation (the "Articles") of Voyageur Intermediate Tax Free
Funds, Inc. (the "Fund"), a series corporation organized under
Minnesota law, the By-Laws of the Fund, the resolutions adopted
by the Fund's Board of Directors organizing the business of the
Fund, and its proposed form of Share Certificates (if any), all
as amended to date, and the various pertinent corporate
proceedings we deem material. We have also examined the
Notification of Registration and the Registration Statements
filed under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment
Company Act") and the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act"), all as amended to date, as well as other items we deem
material to this opinion.
The Fund is authorized by the Articles to issue ten
trillion (10,000,000,000,000) shares of common stock at a par
value of $.01. The Fund issues shares of the Delaware-Voyageur
Tax-Free Arizona Intermediate Fund, Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free
Colorado Intermediate Fund, Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free California
Intermediate Fund and the Delaware-Voyageur Tax-Free Minnesota
Intermediate Fund. The Articles also empower the Board to
designate any additional series or classes and allocate shares to
such series or classes.
The Fund has filed with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, a registration statement under the
Securities Act, which registration statement is deemed to
register an indefinite number of shares of the Fund pursuant to
the provisions of Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act.
You have further advised us that the Fund has filed, and each
year hereafter will timely file, a Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2
perfecting the registration of the shares sold by the Fund during
each fiscal year during which such registration of an indefinite
number of shares remains in effect.
You have also informed us that the shares of the Fund
have been, and will continue to be, sold in accordance with the
Fund's usual method of distributing its registered shares, under
which prospectuses are made available for delivery to offerees
and purchasers of such shares in accordance with Section 5(b) of
the Securities Act.
Based upon the foregoing information and examination,
so long as the Fund remains a valid and subsisting entity under
the laws of its state of organization, and the registration of an
indefinite number of shares of the Fund remains effective, the
authorized shares of the Fund when issued for the consideration
set by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Articles, and
subject to compliance with Rule 24f-2, will be legally
outstanding, fully-paid, and non-assessable shares, and the
holders of such shares will have all the rights provided for with
respect to such holding by the Articles and the laws of the State
of Minnesota.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion, in lieu
of any other, as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of the
Fund, along with any amendments thereto, covering the
registration of the shares of the Fund under the Securities Act
and the applications, registration statements or notice filings,
and amendments thereto, filed in accordance with the securities
laws of the several states in which shares of the Fund are
offered, and we further consent to reference in the registration
statement of the Fund to the fact that this opinion concerning
the legality of the issue has been rendered by us.
Very truly yours,
STRADLEY, RONON, STEVENS & YOUNG, LLP

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements and the financial highlights are free of

Fund
Voyageur Intermediate Tax-Free Funds, Inc. - Delaware-Voyageur Tax-

Municipal Bond Fund
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of Tax-Free
Minnesota Fund, Minnesota Insured Fund, Tax-Free Minnesota Intermediate
Fund and Minnesota High Yield Municipal Bond Fund (the Funds ) as of
December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations, the
statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the
year then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are
the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits. The statements of changes in net assets for the
year ended December 31, 1996 and the financial highlights for the periods
presented through December 31, 1996 were audited by other auditors whose
report dated February 14, 1997 expressed an unqualified opinion on those
statements and financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our
procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31,
1997, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the 1997 financial statements and financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of the respective Funds at December 31, 1997, and the results of their
operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial
highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

This plan pursuant to rule 18f-3 (the "Plan"), which shall become
effective for the Funds on the Effective Date (as defined in section VI
of this Plan), sets forth the differences among classes of shares of the
Funds, including distribution arrangements, shareholder services, income
gains and expense allocations, conversion and exchange options, and
voting rights.
II. Attributes of Share Classes.
The attributes of each existing class of the existing Funds with
respect to distribution arrangements, shareholder services, and
conversion and exchange options shall be as set forth in the following
materials:
A. Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of each
respective Fund as in effect (including supplements) as of the Effective
Date (as defined in section VI hereof).
B. Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act
("Rule 12b-1 Plan") for each Company and Fund as in effect on the
Effective Date (as defined in section VI hereof).
Expenses, income and gains of such existing classes of the Funds shall be
allocated in the manner set forth in III and IV below. Each such
existing class shall have exclusive voting rights on any matter submitted
to shareholders that relates solely to its arrangement for shareholder
services and the distribution of shares and shall have separate voting
rights on any matter submitted to shareholders in which the interests of
one class differ from the interest of any other class, and shall have in
all other respects the same rights and obligations as each other class.
III. Expense Allocation.
A. Class-specific expenses. Each Company shall allocate to each
class of shares of a Fund any fees and expenses incurred by the Company
in connection with the distribution or servicing of such class of shares
under a Rule 12b-1 Plan, if any, adopted for such class. In addition,
the Company reserves the right, subject to approval by the Company's
Board of Directors/Trustees, to allocate fees and expenses of the
following nature to a particular class of shares of a Fund (to the extent
that such fees and expenses actually vary among each class of shares or
vary by types of services provided to each class of shares of the Fund):
(i) transfer agency and other recordkeeping costs;
(ii) Securities and Exchange Commission and blue
sky registration or qualification fees;
(iii) printing and postage expenses related to
printing and distributing class specific
materials, such as shareholder reports,
prospectuses and proxies to current
shareholders of a particular class or to
regulatory authorities with respect to such
class of shares;
(iv) audit or accounting fees or expenses relating
solely to such class;
(v) the expenses of administrative personnel and
services as required to support the
shareholders of such class;
(vi) litigation or other legal expenses relating
solely to such class of shares;
(vii) Directors'/Trustees' fees and expenses
incurred as a result of issues relating
solely to such class of shares; and
(viii) other expenses subsequently identified and
determined to be properly allocated to such
class of shares.
B. Common Expenses.
(i) For Funds which declare a dividend to shareholders
on a daily basis ("Daily Dividend Funds"), except
for any expenses that are allocated to a
particular class as described in paragraph A
above, all expenses incurred by a Fund will be
allocated to each class of shares of such Fund on
the basis of "settled shares" (net assets valued
in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles but excluding the value of
subscriptions receivable) of each class in
relation to the net assets of the Fund.
(ii) For Funds which do not declare a dividend to
shareholders on a daily basis ("Non-Daily
Dividend Funds"), except for any expenses
that are allocated to a particular class as
described in paragraph A above, all expenses
incurred by a Fund will be allocated to each
class of shares of such Fund on the basis of
the net asset value of each such class in
relation to the net asset value of the Fund.
IV. Allocation of Income and Gains.
A. Daily Dividend Funds.
(i) Income of a Daily Dividend Fund will be allocated
to each class of shares of such Fund on the basis
of settled shares of each class in relation to the
net assets of the Fund.
(ii) Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses
of a Fund will be allocated to each class of
shares of such Fund on the basis of the net asset
value of each such class in relation to the net
asset value of the Fund.
B. Non-Daily Dividend Funds.
(i) Income of a Non-Daily Dividend Fund will be
allocated to each class of shares of such Fund on
the basis of the net asset value of each such
class in relation to the net asset value of the
Fund.
(ii) Realized and unrealized gains and losses of a Non-
Daily Dividend Fund will be allocated to each
class of shares of such Fund on the basis of the
net asset value of each such class in relation to
the net asset value of the Fund.
V. Amendment of Plan; Periodic Review.
A. New Funds and New Classes. With respect to any new portfolio
of a Company created after the date of this Plan and any new class of
shares of the existing Funds created after the date of this Plan, the
Board of Directors/Trustees of such Company shall approve amendments to
this Plan setting forth the attributes of the classes of shares of such
new portfolio or of such new class of shares.
B. Material Amendments and Periodic Reviews. The Board of
Directors/Trustees of each Company, including a majority of the
independent directors/trustees, shall periodically review this Plan for
its continued appropriateness and shall approve any material amendment of
this Plan as it relates to any class of any Fund covered by this Plan.
VI. Effective Date of Plan.
This Plan shall become effective for a Fund upon conversion of the
accounting system for such Fund (the "Effective Date"). Upon the
Effective Date, this Plan shall supersede any other plan pursuant to Rule
18f-3 which previously has been adopted for a Fund.
