  July 31, 1995, that have been designated as tax-exempt interest dividends. Tax legislation eliminated the exception to the
  market discount rules applicable to tax-exempt obligations.As a result, certain tax-exempt obligations acquired by the Portfolio

TO SHAREHOLDERS:

The global economy continues to demonstrate a pattern of slow growth with low
inflation. The U.S. economy is no exception, with Gross Domestic Product
poised to grow only modestly during 1995, between 2% and 3%, with inflation
of less than 3%. These characteristics bode well for all capital markets and
particularly fixed-income markets, including municipal bonds.

Indeed, municipal bonds performed well during the first half of 1995, posting
strong price gains as a result of this favorable investment environment.
However, during this period the municipal market underperformed the taxable
market because of concern about the potential passage of major tax reform
(e.g., flat tax, value-added tax or consumption tax) legislation.

Were major tax reform to become law, municipal bonds would likely be
underperformers relative to taxable bonds because the current tax-advantaged
status of municipal bonds probably would be eliminated.

However, we at Eaton Vance believe there is little chance of major tax reform
legislation being enacted. Many reasons have led us to this conclusion. For
example, the inherent regressivity of the various flat tax proposals will
provoke much opposition, as will proposals to eliminate such tax breaks as
deductions for mortgage interest and state and local taxes. Also, such
proposals could seriously depress entire sectors of the U.S. economy.

Accordingly, we view this recent underperformance by municipal bonds due to
fears of tax reform as a potential buying opportunity. Municipal bonds could
represent an attractive asset class at these current relative trading
relationships, with the potential for future outperform-ance for those
investors willing to adopt a patient, long-term investment horizon.

In addition, proposals are now circulating in both Congress and the White House
to reduce the nation's budget deficit by severely cutting expenditures over the
next decade. If enacted, such a concept would drastically reduce the federal
government's borrowing needs and, as a result, would exert a meaningful downward
influence on interest rates across the entire yield curve. All fixed-income
instruments, including municipal bonds, would benefit.

Included in the pages that follow are performance charts that compare your
Fund's total return with that of a broad-based securities market index. The
lines on the chart represent the total returns of $10,000 hypothetical
investments in your Fund and the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond
Index. The solid line on the chart represents the Fund's performance. The
Fund's total return figure reflects fund expenses and portfolio transaction
costs, and assumes the reinvestment of income dividends and capital gain
distributions. The dotted line represents the performance of the Lehman
Brothers Municipal Bond Index, a broad-based, widely recognized unmanaged
index of municipal bonds. Whereas the Fund's portfolio is composed
principally of bonds solely from your individual state, the Index is composed
of bonds from all 50 states and many jurisdictions. The Index's total return
does not reflect any commissions or expenses that would be incurred if an
investor individually purchased or sold the securities represented in the
Index.

YOUR INVESTMENT AT WORK
Navajo County PCR
Arizona Public Service Co.

The Arizona Public Service Company is one of the largest public utilities in
Arizona. Proceeds from this Navajo County Pollution Control Revenue bond
issue were directed toward various construction projects. In addition, funds
were used to upgrade the operations and maintenance facilities at the Navajo
County pollution control plant in the Painted Desert. The bond, which has a
coupon of 5.5%, is insured by AMBAC and is rated Aaa by Moody's rating
service. The issue was representative of management's focus on quality during
the period. Naturally, private insurance does not remove the market risks
associated with this investment.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: ARIZONA
Arizona's economic growth has slowed in recent months but has nevertheless
remained well ahead of the rest of the nation. The state's unemployment rate
hovered near the 5% level during the first quarter of 1995 -  one full
percentage point lower than a year earlier - before rising to 5.5% at mid-year
due to weakness in the construction industry.  Manufacturing - widely viewed as
the lynchpin of economic growth - has slowed somewhat from its torrid 1994
pace, when the sector accounted for nearly 10,000 new jobs, the strongest
yearly gain in a decade.

Manufacturing jobs now represent about 11% of the state's total employment.
Efforts to diversify the Arizona economy beyond mining and agriculture
continued to pay dividends in the past year. Most of the growth has centered
on the service sectors - including finance, banking, and healthcare - which
support the state's large population of retirees. Arizona remains in sound
financial condition. The state's general fund balance was boosted by cost
cuts and strong tax revenue gains in fiscal 1994 and 1995. However, scheduled
tax cuts for 1996 and 1997 will produce a financial challenge for the state
if the economy slows significantly.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

"The market recovered significantly in the first six months of the year from
the collapse of 1994, although questions over tax reform proposals caused some
lingering uncertainty. The Portfolio benefited from its holdings of discount
issues which rallied sharply with the decline in interest rates.  Because the
Arizona market was characterized by its typically low issuance and narrow
quality spreads, I have focused on upgrading quality. Moreover, I balanced a
large weighting in high quality, insured bonds with positions in
higher-yielding issues to boost the Fund's income. "

Systems. The Colorado Health Facilities Authority provides financing for
health care facilities and is a vehicle by which Colorado health care
institutions may refinance outstanding debt. The issue has a 5.25% coupon and
is insured by MBIA. Naturally, private insurance does not remove the market
risk associated with this investment.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Colorado
The Colorado economy has reflected the slowdown at the national level.
Employment growth for the state is expected to rise a modest 2.8% for the
year, a decline from the 4.7% job growth registered in 1994. Restructuring at
several large employers in the transportation and utilities sectors -
including Lowry Air Force Base, Public Service Co., Continental Airlines, and
U.S. West - resulted in layoffs that hit the state especially hard. However,
it's expected that when the restructurings are completed, the sector will
resume its fast growth rate.

Elsewhere, the financial, insurance and real estate sectors should enjoy        
above-average employment growth.  Colorado's finances remain in excellent
health, thanks in part to blockbuster revenue performance in fiscal 1994 and a
very strong 5.5% revenue growth in fiscal 1995. Income and excise tax revenues
were especially strong. Colorado's successful efforts to diversify its economic
base have resulted in the state's economy more closely mirroring the national
picture. While the state's growth may be impeded somewhat by higher interest
rates, Colorado should continue to enjoy a gentler "soft landing" than the U.S.
as a whole.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

"Following the most difficult year on record, the bond market managed to
recover much lost ground in early 1995. Insured bonds played a large role in
the Portfolio as tight supply and narrow spreads dictated a continuing emphasis
on quality. As rates declined early in the year, the market rallied strongly.
The Fund benefited from its positions in higher-yielding bonds and discount
issues, which were established in the wake of last year's market decline. These
positions offered an attractive balance to the Portfolio's insured holdings."

Issued in 1995 under the aegis of the Connecticut Health and Educational
Facilities Authority, the proceeds of these bonds were used to finance the
construction of a new dormitory and various renovations at Loomis Chaffee
School, a private secondary school located in Windsor. The school maintains a
selective admissions policy, has an endowment of $30 million, and has an
outstanding debt of only half that amount. The school's impressive profile
and balanced finances gave MBIA the comfort to insure this issue, which is
rated Aaa/AAA. Naturally, private insurance does not remove the market risk

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Connecticut
The economy in Connecticut is beginning to regain its luster. Economic
indicators such as job growth and personal income continue to strengthen from
their late 1980s bout with layoffs and restructuring that afflicted the state.
The state's deep recession led to major job losses in such industries as
finance, real estate, insurance and defense, which were hard-hit by industry
restructurings, and shrinking government appropriations.  Together, those
setbacks eroded the state's economic base. However, while the employment
outlook for those industries remains relatively weak, job gains in
construction, service, trade, health care and tourism have partially offset
those losses and have helped put the state on the road to recovery.

While the municipal market has been roiled by uncertainties over tax reform
and the fallout from the Orange County debacle, investors in Connecticut
tax-exempt debt can feel comfortable knowing that this state has a long
history of conservative financial management and employs good disclosure
practices. Connecticut is steadily advancing beyond the difficulties of its
recent past and is moving to improve its financial future.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:
" The extreme market volatility of last autumn created a good opportunity to
purchase deep discount bonds - even among high quality AA- and AAA-rated
bonds - and pick up yield without sacrificing credit quality. By the Spring
of 1995, the market had rallied sharply and these discount bonds had
significantly outperformed other segments of the market, adding to the
performance of the Fund. The market has quieted in recent months, especially
the Connecticut market, where new issuance is limited largely to generic
general obligation issues."

City of Detroit,MI
Convention Facility Tax Revenue
Cobo Hall Expansion Project

The proceeds of these bonds were used to pre-refund a previous bond issued in
1985. The previous bond financed the acquisition and construction costs of
expanding Detroit's Cobo Hall Convention Center, a major convention and
entertainment complex. This bond is backed by the City's share of
distributions of the state of Michigan hotel occupancy tax and liquor tax
deposited in the Convention Facility Development Fund. The bond has a coupon
of 5.25% and is a good example of the Fund's efforts during the period to

THE STATE OF THE STATE: MICHIGAN
Michigan's economy remained on the upswing in 1995. The state's unemployment
rate fell to 5.1% in July as the retail, construction, and manufacturing
sectors of the economy each continued to post good results. Motor vehicle
sales, while below 1994's blistering 8.5% growth rate, continued at an annual
rate well above 15 million units.The state's wage and salary levels rose
slightly from last year, with construction employment especially robust,
registering a 12% gain. Reflecting a strong regional economy, housing starts
in the midwest region surpassed those nationally.

Michigan's 1995 tax revenues are running well above last year's, with baseline
revenues rising a strong 15.4% in June. Most of the revenue increase is the
result of strong growth in income, single-business, and use taxes. The state
has also benefited from a 200% increase in the cigarette tax rate, as well as
the start-up of the new state education property and real estate taxes. As a
result of cost containment measures, tax and educational funding reforms,
strong personal income growth and tax revenue growth, Michigan's financial
picture has brightened dramatically. Reflecting that improvement, the state's
credit rating has been upgraded to AA.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:
"Although quality spreads - the yield difference between bonds of varying
quality - were narrow during the period, management sought opportunities in
non-rated bonds and private placements. These bonds offered opportunities to
add incremental yield to the Fund. The Fund concurrently reduced its exposure
to AA bonds, adopting a barbell strategy. That strategy should benefit the
Fund in coming months if, as I believe, income begins to comprise an
increasingly large part of total return for fixed-income investments."

THE STATE OF THE STATE: MINNESOTA
The Minnesota economy gathered momentum in the first half of 1995, with
significant employment gains and a boost in real income.  The state's jobless
rate neared historic lows as manufacturing and large retail expansions resulted
in fast job growth. Once again, the state's computer, electronics, and
technology industries were responsible for much of the employment gains. The
agricultural and food-processing sectors also enjoyed job additions. The
state's economy also benefited from infrastructure repairs and construction in
areas ravaged by the previous year's floods.

Due to Minnesota's resurgent economy, it is likely that income tax and sales
tax receipts will exceed previous budget forecasts. In a robust economic
environment, the state has been able to restore its previously depleted
reserve funds. Minnesota continues to benefit from its wide exposure to the
rapidly growing health care and technology sectors, and should be able to
weather a potential slowdown at the national level. However, the state is
concurrently facing growing social services and public safety costs that may
prove a larger financial burden in the future.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:

"Market conditions have resulted in very narrow quality spreads in 1995. In
this climate, I have employed a "barbell" strategy, emphasizing quality on
one hand and incremental yield additions on the other. The Portfolio's
insured bonds have been an important source of quality and liquidity.
Meanwhile, I have generally avoided par bonds in favor of discount issues.
Finally, I have carefully researched high-yielding issues as a way to add
selectively to the Fund's yield and have added to the health care sector,
which has grown more attractive in recent months."

Gloucester County, NJ
Utility Authority
Water & Sewer Revenue Bonds

Issued by the Gloucester County Utility Authority, this bond was dedicated to
funding Phase III of a waste treatment facility in Gloucester County.
Specifically, the program is designed to upgrade the maintenance and
operating efficiency of a waste treatment facility. By constructing a second
sludge incinerator, the plant should reach a 20% increase in its daily
capacity. The bond provided improvements for the County, while representing
an attractive yielding investment supported by residents' water and sewer
bill payments.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: NEW JERSEY
The New Jersey economy has reflected the slower activity of the national
scene. Declines in the housing market, manufacturing, and consumer spending
have contributed to the state's slowdown. Nearly 10,000 jobs have been lost
in manufacturing alone this year. The state's unemployment rate stood at 6.8%
in July, remaining well above the national rate. On a more positive note, the
service sector continued to add jobs. More than two-thirds of the 52,000
private sector jobs created in the past year within the state were generated

New Jersey has benefited from its increasingly well-managed financial
operations and a strong display of fiscal prudence by the Whitman
administration. Implementing stricter cost controls and reductions in
expenditures, New Jersey is providing a model for other states hoping to
control social spending.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER: 
"The past year has proven to be a highly volatile period for the bond market, 
given last year's sharp decline and the subsequent strong market rally we 
have enjoyed in 1995. I have focused on the insured sector to provide quality 
and ensure good liquidity for the Portfolio. At the same time, I've increased
slightly the Portfolio's exposure to the health care sector, which has 
improved somewhat in recent months, and have added some select high-yielding 
situations, which helped add yield to the Fund."

non-rated bonds and private placement issues. Because the issue was purchased

THE STATE OF THE STATE: PENNSYLVANIA
The Pennsylvania economy continues to demonstrate the beneficial effects of a
shift from its past reliance on manufacturing toward a growing
diversification into the service sectors. Pennsylvania's unemployment rate
declined sharply during the period, falling to 5.4% in July. The service
sector continued to account for nearly two-thirds of the state's job gains,
with health services and social services pacing the gains. Durable goods
manufacturing also added significantly to job growth, led by metals and
industrial machinery.

Pennsylvania has now posted three consecutive years with surplus operations.
That marks a significant departure from the early 1990s, when a declining
cyclical economy and rising social costs played havoc with the state's
finances. Importantly, with an improved economic mix and a stronger national
and regional picture, Pennsylvania has returned to fiscal balance in recent
years. The Commonwealth's fiscal outlook has benefited from a tax package
implemented in 1991, as well as from stricter cost controls and an improving
revenue base resulting from a stronger economy.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:
"The market outlook for the municipal sector has improved significantly
following a difficult 1994. With a slow growth economy and relatively low
municipal supply, the municipal market has fared well in 1995. Accordingly, I
have become somewhat more constructive toward the market, adding  to positions
in bonds that tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes.  Elsewhere,
I've continued to be very selective about investments in hospital bonds.
Finally, in a fairly quiet market, I have looked increasingly to private
placements and non-rated bonds for opportunities to increase the Fund's yield."

EV MARATHON TEXAS TAX FREE FUND

YOUR INVESTMENT AT WORK
Round Rock TX School District
Permanent School Fund

The Round Rock, TX school district serves a small community north of Austin.
Insured by the state's Permanent School Fund, the issue is rated AAA. The
state's Permanent School Fund finances Texas public education, with interest
and dividend income subsidizing local school operations. PSF bonds are
popular with investors because they benefit Texas schools only and represent
a diversification away from the major national municipal insurers. Naturally,
private insurance does not remove the market risk associated with this
investment.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: TEXAS
The Texas economy has outpaced the national output throughout the 1990s. The
economy continues to expand while diversifying its employment base. In 1994
alone, 250,000 jobs were added. That pace is expected to continue into 1995,
as the state increases its exposure to the manufacturing and service sectors.
Construction has been especially strong as the state has seen a strong
in-migration from other states. That is a marked departure from the 1980s,
when the oil and gas economy was wracked by a deep recession. In July, the
state's unemployment rate hovered around the 6% level, slightly above the
national rate.

The Texas financial picture is improving. Despite a 10% growth in budgeted
expenditures, the state has returned to a balanced budget due to a surge in
income tax and sales tax revenues. The state is expanding its economy and is
poised to benefit from increased trade with Latin America. Texas is also
addressing important fiscal issues, including Medicaid, welfare reform, and
educational funding.

FROM THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER:
"In a market characterized by narrow quality spreads, insured bonds composed
a significant portion of the Portfolio, affording continuing high quality as
well as good liquidity. While insured bonds provided quality, I looked to the
non-rated sectors to add yield to the Fund. I sought to take advantage of
market inefficiencies in that sector to add attractive issues to the
Portfolio. In my view, income is likely to be an increasingly important
component of total return in coming months."

     reinvested at the net asset value on the payable date. Amount is computed on a nonannualized basis.

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Eaton Vance Municipals Trust (the Trust) is an entity of the type commonly known
as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust
presently consists of sixty-three Funds, eight of which are included in these
financial statements. They include EV Marathon Arizona Tax Free Fund ("Marathon
Arizona Fund"), EV Marathon Colorado Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Colorado Fund"),
EV Marathon Connecticut Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Connecticut Fund"), EV Marathon
Michigan Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Michigan Fund"), EV Marathon Minnesota Tax
Free Fund ("Marathon Minnesota Fund"), EV Marathon New Jersey Tax Free Fund
("Marathon New Jersey Fund"), EV Marathon Pennsylvania Tax Free Fund ("Marathon
Pennsylvania Fund"), and EV Marathon Texas Tax Free Fund ("Marathon Texas
Fund"). Each Fund invests all of its investable assets in interests in a
separate corresponding open-end management investment company (a Portfolio), a
New York Trust, having the same investment objective as its corresponding Fund.
The Marathon Arizona Fund invests its assets in the Arizona Tax Free Portfolio,
the Marathon Colorado Fund invests its assets in the Colorado Tax Free
Portfolio, the Marathon Connecticut Fund invests its assets in the Connecticut
Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon Michigan Fund invests its assets in the
Michigan Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon Minnesota Fund invests its assets in
the Minnesota Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon New Jersey Fund invests its
assets in the New Jersey Tax Free Portfolio, the Marathon Pennsylvania Fund
invests its assets in the Pennsylvania Tax Free Portfolio, and the Marathon
Texas Fund invests its assets in the Texas Tax Free Portfolio. The value of each
Fund's investment in its corresponding Portfolio reflects the Fund's
proportionate interest in the net assets of that Portfolio (98.3%, 95.8%, 97.1%,
97.6%, 95.6%, 98.8%, 99.2% and 98.4% at July 31, 1995 for the Marathon Arizona
Fund, Marathon Colorado Fund, Marathon Connecticut Fund, Marathon Michigan Fund,
Marathon Minnesota Fund, Marathon New Jersey Fund, Marathon Pennsylvania Fund,
and Marathon Texas Fund, respectively). The performance of each Fund is directly
affected by the performance of its corresponding Portfolio. The financial
statements of each Portfolio, including the portfolio of investments, are
included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with each
Fund's financial statements. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its
financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
 
A. INVESTMENT VALUATION--Valuation of securities by the Portfolios is discussed
in Note 1 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which are included
elsewhere in this report.
 
B. INCOME--Each Fund's net investment income consists of the Fund's pro rata
share of the net investment income of its corresponding Portfolio, less all
actual and accrued expenses of each Fund determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.
 
<TABLE>
C. FEDERAL TAXES--Each Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable and tax-exempt income,
including any net realized gain on investments. Accordingly, no provision for
federal income or excise tax is necessary. At July 31, 1995, the Funds, for
federal income tax purposes had capital loss carryovers which will reduce
taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to
the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the
amount of the distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary
to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The
amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryovers are as follows:

Marathon Michigan Fund, Marathon Minnesota Fund, Marathon New Jersey Fund,
Marathon Pennsylvania Fund and Marathon Texas Fund, respectively, attributable
to security transactions incurred after October 31, 1994, are treated as arising
on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year. Dividends paid by each Fund
from net interest on tax-exempt municipal bonds allocated from its corresponding
Portfolio are not includable by shareholders as gross income for federal income
tax purposes because each Fund and Portfolio intend to meet certain requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies which
will enable the Funds to pay exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such
interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986,
may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
 
D. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES--Cost incurred by each Fund in connection with
its organization, including registration costs, are being amortized on the
straight-line basis over five years beginning on the date each Fund commenced
operations.
 
E. DISTRIBUTION COSTS--For book purposes, commissions paid on the sale of Fund
shares and other distribution costs are charged to operations. As a result of a
recent Internal Revenue Service ruling, the Funds changed their tax accounting
for commissions paid from charging the expenses to paid-in capital to charging
the expense to operations. The change had no effect on either the Funds current
yield or total return (Notes 2 and 5).
 
F. OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

(2) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The net income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net
income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the
time of declaration. In addition, each Fund declares each day an amount equal to
the excess of tax basis net income over book basis net income, which amount is
reported for financial statement purposes as a distribution in excess of net
investment income. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of allocated
realized capital gains, if any, are made at least annually. Shareholders may
reinvest capital gain distributions in additional shares of a Fund at the net
asset value as of the ex-dividend date. Distributions are paid in the form of
additional shares or, at the election of the shareholders, in cash. The Funds
distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting
basis. Generally accepted accounting principles require that only distributions
in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be reported in the financial
statements as a return of capital. Differences in the recognition or
classification of income between the financial statements and tax earnings and
profits which result in temporary over distributions for financial statements
purposes are classified as distributions in excess of net investment income or
accumulated net realized gains. Permanent differences between book and tax
accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital.

During the year ended July 31, 1995, the following reclassifications were made
due to permanent differences between book and tax accounting for distribution
costs, and certain distributions related to capital gains:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(4) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Eaton Vance Management (EVM) serves as the administrator of each Fund, but
receives no compensation. The portfolios have engaged Boston Management and
Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, to render investment advisory services. See
Note 2 of the Portfolios' Notes to Financial Statements which are included
elsewhere in this report. To enhance the net income of the Marathon Texas Fund,
$46,683 of expenses related to the operation of the Marathon Texas Fund was
allocated to EVM. Except as to Trustees of the Funds and the Portfolios who are
not members of EVM's or BMR's organization, officers and Trustees receive
remuneration for their services to each Fund out of such investment adviser fee.
Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM, serves as custodian
to the Funds and the Portfolios. Pursuant to the respective custodian
agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by credits which are determined based on
the average cash balances the Funds or the Portfolios maintain with IBT. Certain
of the officers and Trustees of the Funds and Portfolios are officers and
directors/trustees of the above organizations (Note 5).
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
(5) DISTRIBUTION PLAN
 
Each Fund has adopted a distribution plan (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Plans require the Funds to pay
the principal underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), amounts equal
to 1/365 of 0.75% of each Fund's daily net assets, for providing ongoing
distribution services and facilities to the respective Fund. A Fund will
automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there are
no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to the sum  
of (i) 5% of the aggregate amount received by the Fund for shares sold plus
(ii) distribution fees calculated by applying the rate of 1% over the
prevailing prime rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution
Charges of EVD, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales
charges (Note 6) and daily amounts theretofore paid to EVD. The amount payable
to EVD with respect to each day is accrued on such day as a liability of each
Fund and, accordingly, reduces the Fund's net assets. For the year ended July
31, 1995, Marathon Arizona Fund, Marathon Colorado Fund, Marathon Connecticut
Fund, Marathon Michigan Fund, Marathon Minnesota Fund, Marathon New Jersey
Fund, Marathon Pennsylvania Fund, and Marathon Texas Fund, paid or accrued
$1,086,172, $330,051, $1,395,069, $1,413,428, $588,748, $3,055,813, $3,771,247,
and $198,956, respectively, to or payable to EVD, representing 0.75%
(annualized) of average daily net assets. At July 31, 1995, the amount of
Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Plans for Marathon
Arizona Fund, Marathon Colorado Fund, Marathon Connecticut Fund, Marathon
Michigan Fund, Marathon Minnesota Fund, Marathon New Jersey Fund, Marathon
Pennsylvania Fund, and Marathon Texas Fund were approximately $5,271,000,
$1,925,000, $7,583,000, $6,378,000, $3,041,000, $13,741,000, $17,253,000 and
$1,033,000, respectively.
 
In addition, the Plans authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to
the Principal Underwriter, Authorized Firms and other persons in amounts not
exceeding 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets for any fiscal year. The
Trustees have initially implemented the Plans by authorizing the Funds to make
quarterly service fee payments to the Principal Underwriter and Authorized Firms
in amounts not expected to exceed 0.20% per annum of each Fund's average daily
net assets based on the value of Fund shares sold by such persons and remaining
outstanding for at least one year. For the year ended July 31, 1995, Marathon
Arizona Fund, Marathon Colorado Fund, Marathon Connecticut Fund, Marathon
Michigan Fund, Marathon Minnesota Fund, Marathon New Jersey Fund, Marathon

(6) CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE

A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) is imposed on any redemption of Fund
shares made within six years of purchase. Generally the CDSC is based upon the
lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No
charge is levied on Fund shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital
gains distributions. The CDSC is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in
the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase declining
one percentage point each subsequent year. No CDSC is levied on shares which
have been sold to EVD or its affiliates or to their respective employees or
clients. CDSC charges are paid to EVD to reduce the amount of Uncovered
Distribution Charges calculated under the Fund's Distribution Plan. CDSC charges
received when no Uncovered Distribution Charges exist will be credited to the
Fund. EVD received approximately $862,000, $235,000, $621,000, $704,000,
$351,000, $1,772,000, $2,034,000 and $57,000, respectively, of CDSC paid by
shareholders of Marathon Arizona Fund, Marathon Colorado Fund, Marathon
Connecticut Fund, Marathon Michigan Fund, Marathon Minnesota Fund, Marathon New
Jersey Fund, Marathon Pennsylvania Fund, and Marathon Texas Fund, respectively,
for the year ended July 31, 1995.

                          Independent Auditors' Report
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
TO THE TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF
  EATON VANCE MUNICIPALS TRUST:
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of EV
Marathon Arizona Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon Colorado Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon
Connecticut Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon Michigan Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon
Minnesota Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon New Jersey Tax Free Fund, EV Marathon
Pennsylvania Tax Free Fund and EV Marathon Texas Tax Free Fund (the Funds)
(certain of the series constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust) as of July 31,
1995, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the
statements of changes in net assets for the year ended July 31, 1995, the ten
months ended July 31, 1994 and the year ended September 30, 1993, and the
financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period ended July
31, 1995. These financial statements and financial highlights are the
responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our
audits.
 
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. 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, such financial statements and financial highlights present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the
aforementioned funds of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust at July 31, 1995, the
results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial
highlights for the respective stated periods in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Arizona
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at July 31, 1995, 36.6% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial guaranty assurance
agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial institution ranges from 0.9% to
16.3% of total investments.

The Portfolio primarily invests in debt securities issued by Connecticut
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at July 31, 1995, 30.4% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Michigan
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at July 31, 1995, 51.8% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial guaranty assurance
agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial institution ranges from 2.0% to
22.0% of total investments.

The Portfolio primarily invests in debt securities issued by Minnesota
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at July 31, 1995, 34.7% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.4% to 19.3% of total investments.

The Portfolio primarily invests in debt securities issued by New Jersey
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at July 31, 1995, 27.9% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.1% to 14.5% of total investments.

The Portfolio primarily invests in debt securities issued by Pennsylvania
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at July 31, 1995, 28.3% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and
financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial
institution ranged from 0.4% to 11.5% of total investments.

The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by Texas
municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or
municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic
developments, at July 31, 1995, 55.3% of the securities in the portfolio of
investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial guaranty assurance
agencies. The aggregate percentage by financial institution ranges from 0.8% to
18.4% of total investments.

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Arizona Tax Free Portfolio (Arizona Portfolio), Colorado Tax Free Portfolio
(Colorado Portfolio), Connecticut Tax Free Portfolio (Connecticut Portfolio),
Michigan Tax Free Portfolio (Michigan Portfolio), Minnesota Tax Free Portfolio
(Minnesota Portfolio), New Jersey Tax Free Portfolio (New Jersey Portfolio),
Pennsylvania Tax Free Portfolio (Pennsylvania Portfolio) and Texas Tax Free
Portfolio (Texas Portfolio), collectively the Portfolios, are registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 as non-diversified open-end management
investment companies which were organized as trusts under the laws of the State
of New York on May 1, 1992. The Declarations of Trust permit the Trustees to
issue interests in the Portfolios. The following is a summary of significant
accounting policies of the Portfolios. The policies are in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
A. INVESTMENT VALUATIONS -- Municipal bonds are normally valued on the basis of
valuations furnished by a pricing service. Taxable obligations, if any, for
which price quotations are readily available are normally valued at the mean
between the latest bid and asked prices. Futures contracts listed on commodity
exchanges are valued at closing settlement prices. Short-term obligations,
maturing in sixty days or less, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates
value. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are unavailable are
valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the
direction of the Trustees.
 
B. INCOME -- Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued,
adjusted for amortization of premium or discount when required for federal
income tax purposes.
 
C. INCOME TAXES -- The Portfolios are treated as partnerships for Federal tax
purposes. No provision is made by the Portfolios for federal or state taxes on
any taxable income of the Portfolios because each investor in the Portfolios are
ultimately responsible for the payment of any taxes. Since some of the
Portfolios' investors are regulated investment companies that invest all or
substantially all of their assets in the Portfolios, the Portfolios normally
must satisfy the applicable source of income and diversification requirements
(under the Internal Revenue Code) in order for their respective investors to
satisfy them. The Portfolios will allocate at least annually among their
respective investors each investor's distributive share of the Portfolios' net
taxable (if any) and tax-exempt investment income, net realized capital
 
gains, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deductions or credit. Interest
income received by the Portfolios on investments in municipal bonds, which is
excludable from gross income under the Internal Revenue Code, will retain its
status as income exempt from federal income tax when allocated to each
Portfolio's investors. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private
activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference
item for investors.
 
D. DEFERRED ORGANIZATION EXPENSES -- Costs incurred by a Portfolio in connection
with its organization are being amortized on the straight-line basis over five
years beginning on the date each Portfolio commenced operations.
 
E. FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS -- Upon the entering of a financial futures
contract, a Portfolio is required to deposit ("initial margin") either in cash
or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the purchase price
indicated in the financial futures contract. Subsequent payments are made or
received by a Portfolio ("margin maintenance") each day, dependent on the daily
fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded for book
purposes as unrealized gains or losses by a Portfolio. A Portfolio's investment
in financial futures contracts is designed only to hedge against anticipated
future changes in interest rates. Should interest rates move unexpectedly, the
Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures
contracts and may realize a loss.
 
F. WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS -- The Portfolios may engage in
when-issued and delayed delivery transactions. The Portfolio records when-issued
securities on trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient
liquid assets will be available to make payments for the securities purchased.
Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are
marked-to-market daily and begin accruing interest on settlement date.
 
G. OTHER -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

(2) INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for
management and investment advisory services rendered to each Portfolio.

The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage
of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities).

For the year ended July 31, 1995, each Portfolio paid advisory fees as follows:
 
<CAPTION>
                      AMOUNT           EFFECTIVE RATE*
                    ----------         ----------------
<S>                 <C>                      <C>
Arizona             $  629,148               0.42%
Colorado               128,496               0.28%
Connecticut            835,605               0.44%
Michigan               856,258               0.44%
Minnesota              310,489               0.37%
New Jersey           1,944,340               0.47%
Pennsylvania         2,416,419               0.48%
Texas                   56,319               0.21%
</TABLE>
 
To enhance the net income of the Colorado Portfolio and the Texas Portfolio, BMR
made a reduction in its fee in the amount of $69,064 and $56,319, respectively,
and $18,606 of expenses related to the operation of the Texas Portfolio were
allocated to BMR.

Except as to Trustees of the Portfolios who are not members of EVM's or BMR's
organization, officers and Trustees receive remuneration for their services to
the Portfolios out of such investment adviser fee. Investors Bank & Trust
Company (IBT), an affiliate of EVM and BMR, serves as custodian of the
Portfolios. Pursuant to the custodian agreements, IBT receives a fee reduced by
credits which are determined based on the average daily cash balances each
Portfolio maintains with IBT. Certain of the officers and Trustees of the
Portfolios are officers and directors/trustees of the above organizations.
Trustees of the Portfolio that are not affiliated with the Investment Adviser
may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in
accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the
year ended July 31, 1995, no significant amounts have been deferred.
 
* Advisory fees paid as a percentage of average daily net assets.

(5) LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
EVM in a $120 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a bank. The line
of credit consists of a $20 million committed facility and a $100 million
discretionary facility. Each Portfolio may temporarily borrow up to 5% of its
total assets to satisfy redemption requests or settle transactions. Interest is
charged to each portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at an amount above
either the bank's adjusted certificate of deposit rate, a variable adjusted
certificate of deposit rate, or a federal funds effective rate. In addition, a
fee computed at an annual rate of 1/4 of 1% on the $20 million committed
facility and on the daily unused portion of the $100 million discretionary
facility is allocated among the participating funds and portfolios at the end of
each quarter. The Portfolios did not have any significant borrowings or
allocated fees during the period. For the Connecticut Portfolio, the average
daily loan balance for the year ended July 31, 1995 was $1,583,254 and the
average interest rate was 7.27%. The maximum borrowings outstanding at any point
during the year were $6,997,000. At July 31, 1995, the Arizona Portfolio had a
$903,000 loan outstanding pursuant to this line of credit.

(6) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
The Portfolios regularly trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk in the normal course of their investing activities to assist in managing
exposure to various market risks. These financial instruments include written
options and futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of
risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes.
 
The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the
investment a Portfolio has in particular classes of financial instruments and
does not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The
measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only
when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

1995, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not
received from brokers, we performed other audit procedures. 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, such financial statements and supplementary data present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Arizona Tax Free Portfolio,
Colorado Tax Free Portfolio, Connecticut Tax Free Portfolio, Michigan Tax Free
Portfolio, Minnesota Tax Free Portfolio, New Jersey Tax Free Portfolio,
Pennsylvania Tax Free Portfolio and Texas Tax Free Portfolio at July 31, 1995,
the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their
supplementary data for the respective stated periods in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
