To Shareholders:
The municipal bond market in 1996 was characterized by heightened volatility as
investors reacted to a seesaw interest rate environment and a
politically-charged debate over the possibility of a flat tax. At the outset of
the year, the economy seemed poised for a slowdown, and the Federal Reserve
appeared ready to revive growth through interest rate reductions. In January,
1996, the Fed lowered the Federal Funds Rate - the rate banks charge each other
for overnight loans and a key short-term interest rate barometer - to 5.25%.
However, it soon became apparent that the economy was stronger than anticipated
and that inflation, while still at a low level, would bear further watching.
Long-term bond yields climbed steadily higher, reaching their peak in mid-June,
1996.
Investors were heartened by economic reports in the second half of the year that
showed a scenario of slow growth and low inflation. In addition, the federal
budget deficit, which had ballooned in the 1980s and had been so long the bane
of fixed-income investors, fell to just 1.5% of gross domestic product. Against
that favorable backdrop, bond yields finished the year at lower levels than at
mid-year.
According to the Public Securities Association, state and local governments sold
roughly $183 billion in securities in 1996, and will sell approximately the same
volume in 1997. That is sharply lower than the supply levels for 1995 and
earlier. With greatly reduced supply and increasing competition for bonds,
municipal bonds should retain their value among tax-conscious investors.
We believe an investment in municipal bonds continues to represent good value
for several reasons. First, the nation's economy should continue to grow at a
fairly modest pace in 1997, which is favorable for bonds in general. Second, due
to public demand, it is increasingly likely that Congress and the Clinton
Administration will make progress toward a balanced budget. Third, with the
equity markets having turned in two consecutive years of performances well above
historical averages, investors may look for alternatives within the bond
markets.

Finally, taxes remain a burden and, for most investors, municipal bonds are the
last remaining vehicle for tax relief. For these reasons, we believe that the
municipal market will continue to be a favored avenue for tax-conscious
investors. Eaton Vance's municipal bond department will continue to seek high,
tax-free current income for shareholders.

EV TRADITIONAL ARIZONA MUNICIPALS FUND
THE STATE OF THE STATE: Arizona
The Arizona economy remained sound in 1996, reflecting improved consumer
confidence, robust job creation, and rising wages. Job growth of nearly 4%
through the year ranked Arizona fourth among all states in that category.
Arizona also continued to lead the nation in personal income growth, registering
a strong 9% increase. The services and trade sectors accounted for the largest
number of new jobs, although the manufac-turing sector also received a boost
from the location of several semiconductor fabrication plants within the state.
In the construction sector, Arizona's residential building permits reached a
55,000 annual rate in 1996. However, with absorption rates lagging the
burgeoning supply, the state has a sizeable inventory of unsold new homes, which
suggests a likely slowing in the construction sector. Population growth has
moderated to a 3% annual rate, as the migration of residents to Arizona from
other states fell from 100,000 in 1994 to an estimated 82,000 for 1996,
according to a University of Arizona study. On the fiscal front, social spending
has risen with the increased impact of urban centers. Therefore, recent national
welfare reforms will surely represent a challenge for Arizona in coming years.
However, the state's conservative financial practices, increased tax revenues,
and comfortable general fund balances leave Arizona in sound financial condition
to meet those challenges.

"The municipal bond market has been increasingly dominated by insured bonds,
and, as a result, quality spreads have become very narrow. Issuance of Arizona
bonds remained characteristically light during the period, which contributed to
a further narrowing of spreads. Therefore, I've continued to pursue a relative
value approach, seeking value in sectors that are relatively cheap. Structure
also remained an important focus. Accordingly, we continued our efforts to
improve call protection, thereby adding upside potential without sacrificing
much in yield. "To add further value to the Fund in this 'generic' market, we
have searched for higher-yielding opportunities, including non-rated bonds.
Non-rated bonds tend to be research-driven investments, and we were able to find
especially good value in housing bonds in the Arizona market. They afforded us
the opportunity to add very attractive yield opportunities to the Fund. "

Industrial Development Authority
Greenery Apartments Project
The Maricopa County Development Authority issued these bonds in 1996 to provide
financing for the purchase of a 240-unit multi-family, housing complex in Tempe,
Arizona. Proceeds will also be used to implement repairs and renovations to the
facility. The complex is located in the metropolitan Phoenix area, which has
experienced an economic recovery and good employment growth. Real estate trends
in the Phoenix area market have improved, with vacancy rates falling
significantly, rents rising, and absorption rates outpacing new construction.
The Greenery Apartment bonds are non-rated, mature in 2027, and carry an
attractive coupon rate of 8.625%. They represent the Portfolio's ongoing efforts
to add value through higher-yielding issues. In the characteristically thin
Arizona market, selective housing bonds such as Greenery Apartments offered
unusually good value in the past year.

EV TRADITIONAL COLORADO MUNICIPALS FUND
THE STATE OF THE STATE: Colorado
The Colorado economy maintained solid growth in 1996, although at a somewhat
slower pace than that of the past three years. New jobs totalled around 45,000
in 1996, according to the State Office of Planning and Budgeting, a sharp drop
from the 83,000 created the previous year. Nonetheless, the 2.5% employment
growth rate is probably sustainable for the remainder of the decade. The main
sources of new employment were tourism, business services, sports, and gaming.
While the state has suffered a reduction in private-sector defense industry
jobs, that deficit is being made up in part by gains in the finance and
technology sector. Colorado continues to attract a strong inflow of new
residents as well as businesses, which are relocating there because of the
state's excellent quality of life and first-rate work force. Denver, for
example, ranks first among large metropolitan areas in the number of college
graduates, while Fortune magazine ranked the city the second best location in
the nation to live and work.
On the fiscal front, Colorado saw revenues grow 6.8% in fiscal year 1996,
slightly lower than the previous year. Like other states, Colorado is gradually
adjusting to the devolution of federal funds, as well as to its own Taxpayer
Bill of Rights, which imposes strict limits on revenue growth. While this
presents a challenge, Colorado continues to demonstrate a sound fiscal picture
and a healthy general fund balance.

"We continued to follow a strategy that emphasized relative value, trading into
sectors that were deemed relatively cheap. We also continued to focus on
structure, working to improve the Fund's call protection and further
diversifying the Portfolio. "Insured bonds have come to dominate the overall
municipal market in the past year, resulting in a significant narrowing of
quality spreads. That narrowing has been especially true in a state like
Colorado, where new municipal issuance is typically very thin. To counter that
trend, we have sought out special situations to add value - and yield - to the
Fund. In Colorado, we managed to find some interesting opportunities among
industrial development bonds and hospital issues. Some of these issues are
non-rated or lower-rated investment grade. Naturally, these issues put a premium
on in-depth analysis. However, we have redoubled our research efforts in this
segment of the market and, as a result, have been successful in adding what we
view as significant value to the Fund."

The Vail Valley Medical Center is a non-profit corporation that runs a 49-bed
acute care community hospital in Vail, Colorado. The Center also manages
outpatient clinics and treatment facilities in Breckenridge, Beaver Creek, and

the Eagle Valley Health Center, expand a parking structure at the Medical
Center's current Vail facility, and advance-refund a previous issue of the
Center. The new facility will contain office space for physicians, a radiology
suite, physical therapy facilities, and administrative offices. The bonds are

EV TRADITIONAL CONNECTICUT MUNICIPALS FUND
THE STATE OF THE STATE: Connecticut
Although Connecticut's economy continued to underperform the nation's, that
disparity narrowed in 1996. The state has witnessed employment growth in the
past year, with a marked improvement from earlier in the decade. The casino
industry has been particularly strong, with Foxwood's Casino in Ledyard
reportedly the highest grossing casino in the country. With the addition of
another casino in nearby Montville, the gaming industry has produced significant
job creation. Elsewhere, Pratt & Whitney, a leading manufacturer of jet engines,
increased its payroll in the past year. Having laid off thousands of workers in
the recession of the early 1990's, the company has benefited from increased
demand for aircraft from a resurgent airline industry.
On the fiscal front, the imposition of a state income tax in 1992 stabilized the
Connecticut tax structure by reducing the state's economic vulnerability and
substantially increasing revenues. Nonetheless, even with the revised tax
system, the state's accumulated deficit remains daunting. The state anticipates
that revenues will increase in the current fiscal year, boosted by higher income
tax and capital gains tax receipts. The increased revenues should more than
offset higher Medicaid spending requirements. Despite its fiscal challenges,
Connecticut continues to enjoy Aa bond ratings, an acknowlegement of the state's
extraordinary wealth and resources.

"The Portfolio maintained a relatively neutral outlook for much of the period. I
continued my ongoing efforts to improve the Portfolio's call protection,
swapping bonds with 2003 calls for others with 2006 calls. "The Portfolio's
exposure to University of Hartford bonds was reduced on the recommendation of
our research staff. The issuer has subsequently been downgraded by ratings
agencies and has since underperformed the overall market by 50 basis points. In
its place, the Portfolio added an attractive Connecticut HEFA issue for Wiliam

1993, has significantly increased the Hospital's admissions, while improving
revenues and operating margins. The Hospital has 150 physicians, offering a wide

EV TRADITIONAL MICHIGAN MUNICIPALS FUND
THE STATE OF THE STATE: Michigan
Boosted by a solid performance of the national economy, the Michigan economy
continued to enjoy strong job growth in 1996. The state's robust economic
recovery has pushed employment levels to an all-time high, attracting a flood of
workers to the labor force. The state labor force expanded by 3% from a year
earlier, outpacing the growth in the national labor force, which rose only 1.6%.
The fastest-growing areas for state job creation included services, trade,
retailing, and construc-tion. In the important auto sector, total vehicles
product-ion declined from the rapid pace of 1995, although demand for light
trucks continued to surge. Growth in personal income also showed strong
momentum.
The state remains in a very positive financial position, although any slowdown
in the national economy would have negative repercussions for the Michigan
economy, especially given its rapid expansion of recent years. The state's
financial reserves are near their highest in history, with the "Rainy Day Fund"
maintaining a healthy balance equal to around 4% of General and School Aid
revenues. Michigan continues to manage its debt well, with most ratios remaining
below median levels. That prudent fiscal management affords the state an extra
measure of flexibility and continues to earn the state's general obligations a
rating of Aa from Moody's, a major rating agency.

"The bond market saw increasing volatility in 1996, as reports of lower
inflation alternated with signs of stronger economic growth. The climate for
bonds remained generally constructive, however, as issuance of municipal bonds
remained well below previous years. Therefore, I continued to favor bonds that
would do well in a declining rate environment. To improve the Fund's upside
potential, I directed my efforts at maintaining an average dollar price below
par, improving the Fund's call protection, and adding lower-coupon bonds. "With
quality spreads very narrow, I sought to increase the Fund's exposure to
undervalued sectors. Housing bonds offered especially good value in the Michigan
market and added incrementally to the Fund's yield. Finally, Detroit issues
continued to play an important role in the Portfolio. The city is making strides
economically and is making a significant investment in infrastructure to support
increased economic activity."

EV TRADITIONAL MINNESOTA MUNICIPALS FUND
THE STATE OF THE STATE: Minnesota
Minnesota's diverse economy continued to gather momentum in 1996. For the past
decade, the state has outperformed its regional neighbors. During that period,
Minnesota has registered 10% job growth compared to 6% for the nation as a
whole. Interestingly, while the nation has continued to lose manufacturing jobs,
Minnesota has achieved impressive growth in this sector, boosted by its
concentration of instrument and technology-based manufacturers. The state
continues to enjoy below-average unemployment while per capita income remains
slightly above that of the nation. Because the state ranks only 45th in the
nation in terms of federal spending, Minnesota is less vulnerable to the cutback
in defense and government spending that have so negatively impacted other
states.
Minnesota has implemented a range of prudent measures to ensure a sound
budgetary process. Those measures have included the use of multi-year budget
forecasts and statutory limits regarding the growth in program spending. The
state has instituted two statutory reserve funds which together represent over
6% of General Fund revenues. These reserves have helped Minnesota reduce its
borrowing needs while increasing its financial flexibility in meeting future
challenges. Minnesota general obligations have been given a Aaa rating from
Moody's, a major bond rating agency.

"Issuance remained characteristically light in Minnesota during this period.
Housing issues and hospital bonds continued to constitute a significant
percentage of the Minnesota municipal market, and were again among the largest
sector weightings in the Portfolio. Meanwhile, the municipal market was fairly
volatile, which afforded us the opportunity to trade out of bonds with less
desirable structures and thereby add value to the Fund. Naturally, we have also
continued our efforts to improve the Fund's call protection, an important factor
in determining the Fund's potential for capital appreciation. "The bond market
has been characterized by a narrowing of quality spreads. Insured hospital bonds
and utility issues provided the Fund with ample quality and liquidity. To add

EV TRADITIONAL NEW JERSEY MUNICIPALS FUND
THE STATE OF THE STATE: New Jersey
Employment continued to expand in New Jersey in 1996, with the labor force
reaching record levels. However, despite the job creation, the state's recovery
continued to lag the nation's in virtually every category and has been further
hampered by recent rounds of job cuts tied to corporate restructurings in the
communica-tions, utilities, and pharmaceuticals industries. Unemployment hovered
around the 6.2% level at year-end, well above that of the nation as a whole.
Despite its slow recovery, New Jersey's economy remains among the most diverse
in the nation. The state serves as the national headquarters for several of the
largest commercial and industrial companies in the U.S. The state ranks second
in the nation in per capita income.
This year marks the final stage in the state's $1.25 billion, three-year
personal income tax cut. That tax cut, as well as the phase-in of a homeowner
property tax deduction, will result in reduced state revenues. As a result, the
state will again rely on one-time measures to to help balance the state budget
and maintain reserves. Another challenge facing New Jersey is the impact of
federal welfare reforms on state finances. While federal "block grants" will
initially exceed current-law funding, caseload trends suggest that the state's
needs may widen in future years. Like other states, New Jersey will need to
determine ways to manage that deficit.

"In the second half of 1996, I concentrated my efforts on swapping out of older
bonds and into newer issues. That shift was important for two major reasons.
First, the older bonds had reached a point where their call protection was
coming close to the 7-year mark. Typically, when call protection is reduced to
that level, it can significantly constrain a bond's trading characteristics.
Second, the older bonds tended to have higher coupons, which also makes the
bonds less responsive on the upside. Replacing these bonds with lower coupons
helped to increase the Fund's appreciation potential. "We continued to monitor
the solid waste sector closely during the period. Adverse court rulings have
called into question the financial viability of many county landfills and
resource recovery plants. As a result, we have become very selective, retaining
only our Union County position, which remains a financially feasible project,
and our Mercer County bonds, which are likely to be redeemed within the next
several months."

EV TRADITIONAL PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPALS FUND
THE STATE OF THE STATE: Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania economy made progress in 1996 as the commonwealth's labor force
grew significantly. The unemployment rate averaged 5.3% for 1996, an improvement
from 5.9% in the previous year, and pushed below the national rate for the first
time in five years. Services, retailing, and the financial sector each
experienced strong job growth, while mining, manufac-turing, and health care
continued to suffer losses. Mining has been in a long-term decline, although the
job losses in 1996 were relatively small compared to previous years. The
manufacturing decline was also less severe than in 1995, with durable goods
remaining weak due to a national softening in electrical machinery demand.
Non-durables, such as paper and apparel, showed some signs of a comeback.
Meanwhile, the commonwealth's large health care industry continued its
consolidation in response to an increasingly competitive climate.
Pennsylvania's debt levels relative to personal income remain above the national
average, although the commonwealth has reversed some tax increases and become
less reliant on short-term borrowing to address operating shortfalls. By
curtailing spending on social services and utilizing better financial
management, Pennsylvania has made its capital needs significantly more
manageable and put itself in better position to handle future economic and
fiscal challenges.

"My strategy during the period has generally focused on improving the Fund's
upside potential. That has taken several forms: improving call protection,
maintaining a low average dollar price, and adding lower-coupon bonds to the
Portfolio. "From a sector standpoint, the hospital market - especially in
Philadelphia has felt a severe impact from the continuing shakeout in the health
care industry. Overbedded and increasingly competitive, the hospital market has
provided a major challenge for investors. We have devoted extensive research
efforts to that segment of the market and have uncovered value in selected
institutions that are likely to fare well due to mergers and strategic alliances
with HMOs. Finally, Philadelphia bonds remain a major source of supply in the
Pennsylvania market. However, from a credit standpoint, the city has yet to
match the performance of some of its neighbors in the northeast. We, therefore,
remain underweighted in the Philadelphia area."

Refrigerated Enterprises Project
Holt Hauling is one of the leading port operators in Philadelphia, loading and
unloading containers and cargo from ships and onto railroad cars and trucks.
Sales last year reached $130 million. In recent years, the company has found a
growth niche in the refrigeration business, storing food cargoes arriving from
Europe and South America, including fruit, meats, and vegetables. The company
has been able to exploit this growing market through its Refrigerated
Enterprises subsidiary. This bond was issued by the Philadelphia Industrial
Development Authority, with the proceeds used to finance the construction of a
refrigerated warehouse in Philadelphia. The bonds are non-rated and have a very
attractive coupon of 9.05%. This bond is a good example of management's efforts
to seek value and further diversification in non-rated bonds while increasing
income for the Portfolio.

THE STATE OF THE STATE: Texas
The Texas economy continued to expand in the past year, boosted by a resurgence
in the construction, services and selected manufacturing industries. According
to the Texas Office of the Comptroller, around 250,000 new jobs were created in
1996, marking the seventh consecutive year in which Texas' job growth rate
exceeded that of the nation. As the year drew to a close, Texas had added 1.3
million new jobs in the 1990s, nearly a 20% increase since the start of the
decade. The Texas unemployment rate of 5.4% at year-end was its lowest in 15
years. Health care was the fastest-growing industry in the service sector as
concerns about new health care regulation and the impact of managed care
subsided. Meanwhile, the construction sector was boosted by a strong inflow of
new arrivals and by continued low mortgage rates. Technology and
computer-related manufacturing managed to outperform overall employment growth.
Financially, Texas has fully recovered from the energy-related budget deficits
of the 1980s and, in recent years, has posted year-end cash surpluses. The state
continues to face challenges with respect to its future handling of medical
assistance, welfare, and education funding. However, with a steadily growing,
increasingly diversified economy, well-managed finances, and relatively low debt
ratios, Texas continues to merit its Aa credit rating from Moody's.

"Trading activity in the Texas Portfolio was fairly limited during the six-month
period. I maintained a generally neutral market outlook for much of the period.
The Portfolio continued to feature a mix that included defensive, high-coupon
bonds as well as performance-oriented discount and zero-coupon bonds. "The
Portfolio's main theme continued to be a relative-value approach. One segment of
the Texas market that provided unusual value during the period was the housing
sector. Several attractive issues allowed us to add incrementally to the Fund's
yield. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs bonds (profiled in
the column to the right) were a good example of the higher-yielding housing
issues the Portfolio was able to purchase. The bonds yielded 6.4%, providing a
handsome 90 basis point spread over Aaa bonds."

NHP Foundation
These multi-family housing bonds were issued in 1996 by the Texas Department of
Housing and Community Affairs. The proceeds of the bond issue were directed as
loans to the NHP Foundation, a non-profit housing corporation. The loans will
allow the Foundation to refinance existing mortgages on nine housing projects
located in Dallas, Arlington, Fort Worth and Houston. The properties were
acquired by the Foundation under the Resolution Trust disposition process and
have performed well under the Foundation's ownership and the direction of NHP
Inc., a large, regional property management firm. With a strong local economy
and experienced management, the outlook for the properties is favorable,
according to Standard & Poor's, a bond rating agency. Rated A by S&P, the bonds
are representative of the Portfolio's successful efforts to discover value in
the Texas housing sector.

(1) Includes the Fund's share of its corresponding Portfolio's allocated expenses.
(2) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase at the net asset value on the first day and a sale at the net asset
value on the last day of each period reported. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested
at the net asset value on the payable date. Total return is computed on a non-annualized basis.
(3) The expense ratios for the six months ended January 31, 1997 and the year ended July 31, 1996 have been adjusted
to reflect a change in reporting requirements. The new reporting guidelines require the Fund to increase its
expense ratio by the effect of any expense offset arrangements with its service providers as well as its share of
the Portfolio's. The expense ratios for each of the periods ended on or before July 31, 1995 have not been
adjusted to reflect this change.
++ The per share amount is not in accord with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) for the period because of
the timing of sales of Fund shares and the amount of the per share realized and unrealized gains and losses at
such time.
* For the Traditional Arizona and Traditional Colorado Funds, the Financial Highlights are for the period from the
start of business, December 13, 1993 and December 10, 1993, respectively, to July 31, 1994.

Minnesota Fund invests its assets in the Minnesota Municipals Portfolio, the
Traditional New Jersey Fund invests its assets in the New Jersey Municipals
Portfolio, the Traditional Pennsylvania Fund invests its assets in the
Pennsylvania Municipals Portfolio and the Traditional Texas Fund invests its
assets in the Texas Municipals 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 (1.6%, 6.3%, 1.3%, 0.8%, 2.6%, 1.3%, 1.0%, 1.6% at
January 31, 1997 for the Traditional Arizona Fund, Traditional Colorado Fund,
Traditional Connecticut Fund, Traditional Michigan Fund, Traditional Minnesota
Fund, Traditional New Jersey Fund, Traditional Pennsylvania Fund and Traditional
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 1A 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.
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 gains. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income
or excise tax is necessary. At July 31, 1996, the Funds, for federal income tax
purposes, had capital loss carryovers, which will reduce taxable income arising
from future net realized gains, 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:
<TABLE>

Traditional Texas Fund 44,887 July 31, 2004
11,202 July 31, 2002
</TABLE>
Additionally, at July 31, 1996, net capital losses of $1,725, $5,405, and $2,900
for the Traditional Colorado Fund, Traditional New Jersey Fund and Traditional
Texas Fund, respectively, attributable to security transactions incurred after
October 31, 1995 are treated as arising on the first day of each Fund's current
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
24
<PAGE> 25
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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--Costs incurred by a Fund in connection with
its organization, including registration costs, are being amortized on the
straight-line basis over five years.
E. EXPENSE REDUCTION--Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT), 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. All
significant credit balances used to reduce the Fund's custodian fees are
reported as a reduction of expenses in the statement of operations.
F. USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
G. OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
H. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION--The interim financial statements relating to
January 31, 1997 and for the six month period then ended have not been audited
by independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the Fund's
management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(2) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The net income of a 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. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions are paid in
the form of additional shares or, at the election of the shareholder, in cash.
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.
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 statement
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.
The tax treatment of distributions for the calendar year will be reported to
shareholders prior to February 1, 1998 and will be based on tax accounting
methods which may differ from amounts determined for financial statement
purposes.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(3) SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
The Funds' Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited
number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value).
Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

(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 Funds for the six
months ended January 31, 1997, $8,616, $6,861, $8,477, $10,596, $10,318,
$10,754, $6,639, and $7,951 of expenses related to the operation of the
Traditional Arizona Fund, Traditional Colorado Fund, Traditional Connecticut
Fund, Traditional Michigan Fund, Traditional Minnesota Fund, Traditional New
Jersey Fund, Traditional Pennsylvania Fund and Traditional Texas Fund,
respectively, were allocated to EVM, on a preliminary basis.
Certain of the officers and trustees of the Funds and Portfolios are officers
and directors/trustees of the above organizations. 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 the investment adviser fee earned by BMR.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(5) SERVICE PLAN
Each Fund has adopted a service plan (the Plans) designed to meet the service
fee requirements of the sales charge rule of The National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. The Plans provide that each Fund may make service fee
payments to EVD, Authorized Firms or 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 each Plan by authorizing the Fund to make quarterly
service fee payments to the Principal Underwriter and Authorized Firms in
amounts not exceeding 0.20% of each Fund's average daily net assets for any
fiscal year which is attributable to shares of a Fund sold by such persons and
remaining outstanding for at least one year. Service fee payments are made for
personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. For the six
months ended January 31, 1997, the Traditional Arizona Fund, Traditional
Colorado Fund, Traditional Connecticut Fund, Traditional Michigan Fund,
Traditional Minnesota Fund, Traditional New Jersey Fund, Traditional
Pennsylvania Fund and Traditional Texas Fund paid or accrued service fees of
$729, $1,226, $1,150, $1,013, $893, $1,843, $1,036, and $379, respectively.
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers and directors of
EVD.

(1) The above designated securities have been issued as inverse floater bonds.
(2) Security has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial
futures contracts.
AMT -- Interest earned from these securities may be considered a tax preference
item for purposes of the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.
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 January 31, 1997, 33.0% 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 2.3% to 15.2% of total investments.

requirements on open financial futures contracts.
AMT -- Interest earned from these securities may be considered a tax preference
item for purposes of the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.
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 January 31, 1997, 13.1% 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 0.3% to 9.5% of total investments.

(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Arizona Municipals Portfolio (Arizona Portfolio), Colorado Municipals Portfolio
(Colorado Portfolio), Connecticut Municipals Portfolio (Connecticut Portfolio),
Michigan Municipals Portfolio (Michigan Portfolio), Minnesota Municipals
Portfolio (Minnesota Portfolio), New Jersey Municipals Portfolio (New Jersey
Portfolio), Pennsylvania Municipals Portfolio (Pennsylvania Portfolio) and Texas
Municipals 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 and options on
futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at closing settlement
prices. Over the counter options on financial futures contracts are normally
valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked 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 is
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.
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, a
Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures
contracts and may realize a loss.
F. OPTIONS ON FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS--Upon the purchase of a put option on
a financial futures contract by a Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an
investment, the value of which is marked-to-market daily. When a purchased
option expires, a Portfolio will realize a loss in the amount of the cost of the
option. When a Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, the Portfolio
will realize a gain or loss depending on whether the sales proceeds from the
closing sale transaction are greater or less than the cost of the option. When a
Portfolio exercises a put option, settlement is made in cash. The risk
associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium originally paid.
G. WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS-- The Portfolios may engage in
when-issued or 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 earning interest on settlement date.
H. OTHER--Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I. EXPENSE REDUCTION--Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) 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. All significant credit balances used to
reduce each Portfolio's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses
in the Statement of Operations.
J. USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
K. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION--The interim financial statements relating to
January 31, 1997 and for the six month period then ended have not been audited
by independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the Fund's
management, reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements.

(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 six months ended January 31, 1997, each Portfolio paid advisory fees as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
PORTFOLIO AMOUNT EFFECTIVE RATE*
- ----------------- ---------- ----------------
<S> <C> <C>
Arizona $ 253,380 0.40%
Colorado 59,948 0.27%
Connecticut 397,348 0.43%
Michigan 356,177 0.42%
Minnesota 131,736 0.35%
New Jersey 884,210 0.46%
Pennsylvania 1,027,282 0.47%
Texas 21,965 0.18%
</TABLE>
* Advisory fees as a percentage of average daily net assets (annualized).
To enhance the net income of the Texas Portfolio, BMR made a preliminary
reduction in its fee in the amount of $8,076.
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.
Trustees of the Portfolios 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
six months ended January 31, 1997, no significant amounts have been deferred.
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers and
directors/trustees of the above organizations.

(5) LINE OF CREDIT
The Portfolios participate with other portfolios and funds managed by BMR and
EVM and its affiliates in a committed $120 million unsecured line of credit
agreement with a group of banks. The Portfolios may temporarily borrow from the
line of credit to satisfy redemption requests or settle investment transactions.
Interest is charged to each portfolio or fund based on its borrowings at an
amount above the banks' adjusted certificate of deposit rate, eurodollar rate or
federal funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on
the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the
participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. At January 31,
1997, the Pennsylvania Portfolio had a balance outstanding pursuant to this line
of credit of $1,558,000. The Arizona Portfolio, Colorado Portfolio, Connecticut
Portfolio, Michigan Portfolio, Minnesota Portfolio, New Jersey Portfolio,
Pennsylvania Portfolio and Texas Portfolio did not have any significant
borrowings or allocated fees during the six months ended January 31, 1997.

(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.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at January 31, 1997,
is as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
NET UNREALIZED
FUTURES CONTRACTS APPRECIATION
