LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
[PHOTO OMITTED]
Thomas J. Fetter,
President
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. After showing signs of
slowing at the year's outset, it became apparent in the first quarter of 1996
that the economy was stronger than anticipated and that inflation, while still
modest, would bear further watching. Consequently, long-term bond yields climbed
steadily higher, reaching their peak in mid-June.
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.
The first quarter of 1997 has been marked by stronger-than-expected economic
growth, a tightening labor market, and increasing uneasiness over inflation,
which remains low. At its March 25 meeting, the Federal Reserve raised the
Federal Funds Rate 0.25% in an effort to slow the economy and make a preemptory
strike at inflation. In response to 1997's economic events, the bond market has
sold off somewhat, and the yield on the 30-year Treasury Bond - a widely-held
gauge of bond market sentiment - rose to 7.08% on March 31 from 6.64% at the end
of 1996.
Despite Changing Market Conditions, Municipal Bonds Remain an Attractive
Investment
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, Congress and the Clinton Administration have
reached a tentative agreement to balance the budget over the next five years - a
development viewed favorably by bond investors. Second, with the equity markets
having turned in two consecutive years of performances well above historical
averages, investors may look for fixed-income alternatives. Finally, taxes
remain a burden and, for most investors, municipal bonds are one of the last
remaining vehicles 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.
Sincerely,
/s/ Thomas J. Fetter

. 1996 was a good year for California's economy, with strong growth in
services, manufacturing, and construction contributing to the fastest rate of
growth since 1989.
. In the fourth quarter of 1996, seasonally-adjusted labor employment grew to
14.5 million, a 0.5% increase over the third quarter, and 1.8% more than the
fourth quarter of 1995. The unemployment rate has declined to below 7% at the
end of 1996 from 8% at the end of 1994.
. The recession that began in 1990 hit goods-producing industries very hard,
while the services sector continued to grow. The services sector -- which
includes health care, motion pictures, amusement and recreation, and business
services -- contributed almost 70% of all new jobs between 1986 and 1996.
Employment growth in this important sector is expected to outpace other
sectors for the next several years.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the past six months, we have added lower-coupon issues to offset
existing high-coupon bonds in the Fund, which helps increase the Portfolio's
performance characteristics. Many of the bonds we added have excellent names
and are insured./1/ We have continued to increase call protection in the
Portfolio.
. Higher-yielding bonds have been harder to locate, primarily because the
market in California has been dominated by insured issues which are lower-
yielding. However, using our research staff, we have discovered some higher
yields in the industrial development sector. These tend to be "A" and
"BBB" rated.
. We have stayed away from non-rated issues because there have not been many to
choose from, and spreads have been too thin to justify the added risk.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
2.7%./2/
. This return resulted from a decrease in net asset value per share to $10.36
on March 31, 1997 from $10.38 on September 30, 1996, and the reinvestment of
$0.298 per share in tax-free dividend income./3/
. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $10.36 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on March 31, 1997 was 5.69%.
. To equal 5.69% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 41.95% combined
federal and state tax bracket would need a yield of 9.80%.

. Florida's economy benefits from several positive trends, including an
increasing population, significant revenue growth, and a diversified economy
with particular strength in the service and trade sectors.
. Revenue growth increased an estimated 6.3% in 1996, and is expected to jump
another 4.7% in 1997. Unemployment stood at 4.8% in December, 1996-its
lowest level since August of 1988.
. Total non-farm employment in Florida increased 2.8% in the 12 months ending
November 30, 1996, with most of the increase coming from the services sector.
Within this sector, business services, in which employment rose by 6.4%,
accounted for fully half of total job additions.
. The state's low debt/personal income ratio of 3.2%, along with its
conservative financial management, should help Florida meet the increasing
needs of infrastructure, education, and housing.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the past six months, we have added low-coupon issues to offset the
Fund's existing holdings of high-coupon bonds. This "barbell" structure helps
to maximize total return in varying market conditions.
. We are constantly looking for higher-yielding bonds to increase income for
shareholders. Although yield has been somewhat difficult to find in this
market, our research staff has located some good credits in the utilities and
housing sectors.
. We continue to diversify the Fund, as opportunities arise, in an effort to
keep calls long and to reduce overall volatility.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Fund had a total return of

. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $10.38 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on March 31, 1997 was 5.64%.
. To equal 5.64% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 36.0% combined

. Massachusetts' economy is benefiting from a diverse base of growing industry
sectors, including high technology, financial services, education, and health
care.
. The high technology sector alone -- which includes biotechnology, software,
communications, and surgical instruments -- represents 9.1% of total
employment, the highest percentage for this sector in the nation.
. Recent economic indicators confirm a strong, healthy business climate.
Unemployment in February, 1997 was 3.7%, significantly lower than the U.S.
rate of 5.3%. New jobs increased by 64,400 in the past 12 months, a 2.1%
growth rate. Finally, consumer confidence reached a five-year high in
January, 1997.
. Sound financial management at the state level has also helped the
Massachusetts economy. Governor William Weld has balanced the budget every
year since his election in 1990, earning higher ratings on the Commonwealth's
general obligation debt.
Management Discussion
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. The bond market has been volatile in the last six months. Traders have been
reacting to reports of growth in the economy and a tightening labor market,
leading to an overall increase in yields.
. Management has increased the Fund's holdings in the hospital sector because
the partnerships and mergers among the large, successful facilities have made
this sector more attractive.
. The Fund also has more low-coupon holdings, which were added to offset
existing holdings of high-coupon bonds. This "barbell" structure helps
improve performance in varying market conditions.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Fund had a total return of

$0.266 per share in tax-free dividend income./2/
. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.22 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on March 31, 1997 was 5.76%.
. To equal 5.76% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 43.68% combined

. Mississippi's economy is heavily dependent on manufacturing, which has been
strong in recent years, but is subject to cyclical economic downturns.
Fortunately, the state has diversified into services, especially gaming.
Since 1992, over 50,000 jobs in the gaming industry have been created.
. Employment growth in the manufacturing and services sectors helped lower the
state's unemployment rate to 5.4% in December, 1996 from 10.3% in 1985.
. Despite the cyclical nature of Mississippi's manufacturing-based economy,
conservative financial management has kept the state in solid fiscal
condition.
. Mississippi has taken several pro-active steps to improve its economy and the
welfare of its residents. The state has initiated several economic
development programs to attract new businesses, and in 1996 committed over
$36 million for educational improvements.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. In Mississippi, as in the bond market generally, issuance has been low.
Industrial revenue bonds, which we favor, have been hard to find. As a
result, we have used our research capabilities to find higher-yielding issues
in other sectors, such as housing and education.
. University and education bonds have been prominent in Mississippi during the
past several months. This emphasis on education can only help the state's
economic competitiveness in the future.
. The economy has been strong in Mississippi, especially in the gaming
industry, and the state is managing the increasing revenues conservatively.
As a result, general obligations issues are highly rated.

. The tremendous bull market for equity securities has propelled New York's
economy. The tax revenues generated from capital gains and bonus payments in
the financial services industry contributed significantly to a projected $1.3
billion cash surplus at the end of fiscal 1997.
. Despite the tax revenue windfall, New York has kept its spending under
control. Spending reductions, especially in the area of Medicaid, contributed
an estimated $290 million to the $1.3 billion cash surplus projected for FY
1997.
. The state's economy is diversified among several high-paying economic
sectors -- including services, government, finance, insurance and real
estate -- which contributed to a per capita income that exceeded the
national average by almost 20% last year.
. The fiscal 1998 budget proposed by Governor Pataki contains a similar mix of
tax reductions and spending restraints shown in budgets for the past two
years. However, Wall Street profits cannot be counted on to solve the tough
fiscal problems facing the state.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Last fall, we had the good fortune to find two well-structured new issues.
Both had low coupons and '07 calls, which significantly improved the
structure of the Portfolio.
. In the market sell-off that began in January, 1997, we made some extension
trades which increased the intrinsic value of the Fund's non-callable
holdings.
. In February of this year, we purchased a sizeable position of high-yielding
bonds in the housing sector that have relatively low prepayment and interest
rate risk characteristics.

. Ohio's manufacturing sector is still the dominant force in the state's
economy, and the sector's recent strength has contributed to the state's
growth. In 1995, manufacturing employment accounted for 21.1% of the state's
total employment, versus 15.9% for the U.S.
. Recently, Ohio has benefited from an expanding services sector, which has
helped to balance the state's traditional reliance on manufacturing.
. Unemployment was 5.0% in January, 1997, unchanged from the previous month.
New jobs increased in January by 89,000.
. The growth of Ohio's economy over the past several years has led to a
significant increase in reserves in the state's general revenue fund, which
in June, 1996 totalled $1.6 billion. With an increase in reserves, the state
recently pushed through a $400 million income tax reduction.
Management Update
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. In the Ohio Fund, we have been increasing our holdings in the hospital
sector, where there are high-quality credits that are attractively priced.
. We anticipate that hospitals in Ohio will follow the industry trend towards
consolidation. If this proves correct, prices should rise accordingly,
helping the Fund's total return. In the mean time, it is a very good sector
to be in.
. We have also added to the Fund's low-coupon holdings to offset existing
holdings of high-coupon bonds. This "barbell" structure helps improve
performance in varying market conditions.
The Fund
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
2.3%./1/
. This return resulted from a decrease in net asset value per share to $9.34 on
March 31, 1997 from $9.38 on September 30, 1996, and the reinvestment of
$0.255 per share in tax-free dividend income./2/
. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.34 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on March 31, 1997 was 5.49%.
. To equal 5.49% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 40.80% combined
federal and state tax bracket would need a yield of 9.27%.

Nicole Anderes,
Portfolio Manager
The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. Since the mid-1980s, Rhode Island's economy has become more reliant on the
services sector. Manufacturing employment has declined to 21% of all jobs,
down from over 23% in the 1980s, while services employment has grown to over
30% of the total.
. The growth in the services sector - led primarily by
financial companies such as Fleet Bank and Fidelity Mutual Funds - should
help the state weather economic cycles more easily.
. After a difficult financial period in the early 1990's in which reserves had
been depleted, Rhode Island state created the Depositors Economic Protection
Corp. (DEPCO) to aid failing banks. The state also curbed government spending
and implemented a five-year capital plan to reduce overall debt.
. The unemployment rate declined to 5.2% in December, 1996 from 6.9% in
December, 1995. Employment is expected to grow modestly through the end of
the decade.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. In Rhode Island, bond issuance picked up towards the end of 1996. Using our
research staff, we made two significant purchases before year-end - a non-
rated nursing home issue and an "A-"rated hospital bond. Both purchases added
yield, which has been difficult to find in the market environment.
. During the market sell-off that began in January, 1997, we took advantage of
opportunities to purchase non-callable bonds for the Fund. These have
significant total return potential.
. As always, we have continued to increase the Fund's call protection, which is
instrumental in preserving net asset value and increasing total return
opportunities.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
1.8%./1/
. This return resulted from a decrease in net asset value per share to $9.24 on
March 31, 1997 from $9.31 on September 30, 1996, and the reinvestment of
$0.241 per share in tax-free dividend income./2/
. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.24 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on March 31, 1997 was 5.24%.
. To equal 5.24% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 42.34% combined
federal and state tax bracket would need a yield of 9.09%.

EV Traditional West Virginia Municipals Fund as of March 31, 1997
INVESTMENT UPDATE
[PHOTO OMITTED]
Timothy T. Browse,
Portfolio Manager
The Economy
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. West Virginia's economy is in solid condition. Its population has been
increasing since 1990, and job growth in construction, services, and
manufacturing has more than offset declines in mining employment.
. The services sector has led West Virginia's job gains, posting an average
annual growth rate of 4.6% since 1990.
. The unemployment rate was at a 16-year low of 7.5% in February, 1997.
. Tax revenues, which increased by over 7% annually from 1993 to 1995, continue
to grow at a healthy rate. As a result, West Virginia had increased its
reserves to $70 million by August, 1996, with the additional help of
conservative fiscal management policies.
Management Update
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the past six months, the bond market has been marked by increasing
volatility. Investors have been split into two camps: one, which feels growth
will ultimately slow to become more aligned with low inflation; and another,
which feels that inflation will increase because of the economy's continued
strength.
. Since mid-summer, 1996, management has been taking a more defensive posture,
preparing for the possibility of further Federal Reserve interest rate
increases. We have increased holdings of well-structured insured issues,
which have good performance characteristics.
. To improve portfolio structure, we have sold current coupon bonds and bonds
with shorter call features. To meet occasional cash needs, we have sold
Puerto Rico bonds, which are easily replaceable.
The Fund
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Fund had a total return of
2.1%./1/
. This return resulted from a decrease in net asset value per share to $9.40 on
March 31, 1997 from $9.45 on September 30, 1996, and the reinvestment of
$0.251 per share in tax-free dividend income./2/
. Based on the Fund's most recent dividend, and a net asset value of $9.40 per
share, the Fund's distribution rate on March 31, 1997 was 5.37%.
. To equal 5.37% in a taxable investment, a couple in the 40.16% combined
federal and state tax bracket would need a yield of 8.97%.

/(1)/ 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 not
computed on an annualized basis.
/(2)/ Includes each Fund's share of its corresponding Portfolio's allocated
expenses.
/(3)/ The expense ratios for the year ended September 30, 1995 and periods
thereafter, have been adjusted to reflect a change in reporting
requirements. The new reporting guidelines require the Fund, as well as
its corresponding Portfolio, to increase its expense ratio by the effect
of any expense offset arrangements with its service providers. The expense
ratios for the prior periods have not been adjusted to reflect this
change.

EV Traditional Municipals Funds as of March 31, 1997
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
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 investment
management company. The Trust presently consists of sixty Funds, eight of
which are included in these financial statements. They include EV
Traditional California Municipals Fund ("Traditional California Fund"), EV
Traditional Florida Municipals Fund ("Traditional Florida Fund"), EV
Traditional Massachusetts Municipals Fund ("Traditional Massachusetts
Fund"), EV Traditional Mississippi Municipals Fund ("Traditional Mississippi
Fund"), EV Traditional New York Municipals Fund ("Traditional New York
Fund"), EV Traditional Ohio Municipals Fund ("Traditional Ohio Fund"), EV
Traditional Rhode Island Municipals Fund ("Traditional Rhode Island Fund"),
and EV Traditional West Virginia Municipals Fund ("Traditional West Virginia
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 Traditional California Fund invests its assets in
the California Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional Florida Fund invests
its assets in the Florida Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional
Massachusetts Fund invests its assets in the Massachusetts Municipals
Portfolio, the Traditional Mississippi Fund invests its assets in the
Mississippi Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional New York Fund invests its
assets in the New York Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional Ohio Fund
invests its assets in the Ohio Municipals Portfolio, the Traditional Rhode
Island Fund invests its assets in the Rhode Island Municipals Portfolio and
the Traditional West Virginia Fund invests its assets in the West Virginia
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 (1.7%, 1.0%, 2.5%, 4.7%, 1.3%, 0.7%, 4.1%, and
4.5% at March 31, 1997 for the Traditional California Fund, Traditional
Florida Fund, Traditional Massachusetts Fund, Traditional Mississippi Fund,
Traditional New York Fund, Traditional Ohio Fund, Traditional Rhode Island
Fund and Traditional West Virginia 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 gain. Accordingly, no provision for
federal income or excise tax is necessary. At September 30, 1996, the Funds,
for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryovers which will
reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gain, 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:

EV Traditional Municipal Funds as of March 31, 1997
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
Additionally, at September 30, 1996, net capital losses of $24,850 and
$16,192 for the Traditional Rhode Island Fund and the Traditional West
Virginia Fund, respectively, attributable to security transactions incurred
after October 31, 1995, are treated as arising on the first day of the
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 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 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.
F Other -- Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
G 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 daily cash balances the Funds or the
Portfolios maintains with IBT. All significant credit balances used to
reduce each Fund's custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses on
the statement of operations.
H Interim Financial Information -- The interim financial statements relating
to March 31, 1997 and for the six months 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 Fund Name Change
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective December 2, 1996, the EV Classic Rhode Island Municipals Fund
changed its name to the EV Traditional Rhode Island Municipals Fund. In
addition, the Fund discontinued the payment of sales commissions and
distribution fees to the Principal Underwriter pursuant to a Distribution
Plan (see Note 7). The Fund has adopted a new service plan (see Note 6)
which allows for the continued payment of service fees to the principal
underwriter and authorized firms. Purchases of the Fund shares on or after
December 2, 1996 are now subject to a maximum initial sales charge of 3.75%
on amounts up to $50,000 and at declining rates on purchases in excess of
such amount.
3 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. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of
allocated realized capital gains, if any, are made at least annually.
Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in
additional shares of the 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 shareholder, 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 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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 March 31, 1997, $11,171, $12,655, $11,532, $10,913,
$11,009, $10,609, $10,624 and $10,243 of expenses relating to the operation
of the Traditional California Fund, Traditional Florida Fund, Traditional
Massachusetts Fund, Traditional Mississippi Fund, Traditional New York Fund,
Traditional Ohio Fund, Traditional Rhode Island Fund and Traditional West
Virginia Fund, respectively, were allocated, on a preliminary basis, 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 earned by
BMR.
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds and Portfolios are
officers and directors/trustees of EVM and BMR.
6 Service Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the Plan) designed to meet the
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 the Principal Underwriter, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc.
(EVD), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management, 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 each Fund to make quarterly service fee payments to the
Principal Underwriter and Authorized Firms in amounts not exceeding 0.20%
(0.25% for the Traditional California Fund) 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 March 31, 1997, the
Traditional California Fund, Traditional Florida Fund, Traditional
Massachusetts Fund, Traditional Mississippi Fund, Traditional New York Fund,
Traditional Ohio Fund, and Traditional West Virginia Fund, respectively,
paid or accrued service fees of $2,195, $3,036, $1,408, $884, $3,907, $1,122
, and $117, respectively. For the period from October 1, 1996, to November
29, 1996, the Traditional Rhode Island Fund paid service fees of $1,122.
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers or directors
of EVD.
7 Distribution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prior to December 1, 1996, Traditional Rhode Island Fund had adopted a
distribution plan (the Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940. The Plan required the Fund to pay EVD amounts equal to
1/365 of 0.75% of the Fund's daily net assets, for providing ongoing
distribution services and facilities to the Fund. The Fund would
automatically discontinue payments to EVD during any period in which there
were no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges, which are equivalent to
the sum of (i) 6.25% 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 rate to the outstanding balance of Uncovered Distribution
Charges of EVD, reduced by the aggregate amount of contingent deferred sales
charges and amounts theretofore paid to EVD. The amount payable to EVD with
respect to each day was accrued on such day as a liability of the Fund and,
accordingly, reduced the Fund's net assets. For the period from October 1,
1996 to November 29, 1996, the Fund paid $2,607 to EVD representing 0.75%
(annualized) of average daily net assets. At March 31, 1997, the amount of
Uncovered Distribution Charges of EVD calculated under the Plan for the Fund
was approximately $364,000.
In addition, the Plan permitted the Fund to make monthly payments of service
fees to EVD, in amounts not exceeding 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net
assets for any fiscal year. The Trustees had initially implemented the Plan
by authorizing the Fund to make monthly service fee payments to the
Principal Underwriter in amounts not expensed to exceed 0.20% of the Fund's
average daily net
26

EV Traditional Municipals Funds as of March 31, 1997
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
assets for each fiscal year. For the period from October 1, 1996 to November
29, 1996, the Fund paid service fees to EVD in the amount of $695. During
the first year after purchase of Fund shares, EVD retained the service fee
as reimbursement for the service fee payments made to the Authorized Firm at
the time of sale. Thereafter, EVD was expected to make monthly service fee
payments to Authorized Firms equal to 0.20% per annum of the Fund's average
daily net assets based on the value of the Fund's shares sold by such
authorizing firm and remaining outstanding for at least one year. Service
fee payments were made for personal services and/or maintenance of
shareholder accounts. Service fees paid to EVD and Authorized Firms were
separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees
payable by the Fund to EVD, and as such are not subject to automatic
discontinuance when there are no outstanding Uncovered Distribution Charges
of EVD.
8 Contingent Deferred Sales Charge
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
For shares of the Traditional Rhode Island Fund purchased between November
30, 1995 and November 29, 1996, a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of
1% is imposed on any redemption of Fund shares made within one year 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 shares
acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions. No
CDSC is levied on shares which have been sold to EVD or its affiliates or to
their respective employees. 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. For the period from December 2,
1996, to March 31, 1997, EVD did not receive any CDSC payments from
shareholders of the EV Traditional Rhode Island Fund.

futures contracts.

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 March 31, 1997, 23.0% 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 insured by
financial institutions ranged from 1.0% to 15.4% of total investments.

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 invests primarily in debt securities issued by Mississippi
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 March 31, 1997, 39.7% 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 3.5% to 25.9% of total investments.

/(1)/ Security has been issued as an inverse floater bond.
/(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 invests primarily in debt securities issued by New York
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 March 31, 1997, 9.1% 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 insured by
financial institutions ranged from 0.5% to 5.4% of total investments.

AMT - Interest earned from these securities may be considered a tax preference
item for purposes of the Federal Alternative Minimum Tax.
The Portfolio invests primarily in debt securities issued by West Virginia
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 March 31, 1997, 53.3% 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 insured by
financial institution ranged from 9.2% to 20.2% of total investments.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
California Municipals Portfolio (California Portfolio), Florida Municipals
Portfolio (Florida Portfolio), Massachusetts Municipals Portfolio
(Massachusetts Portfolio), Mississippi Municipals Portfolio (Mississippi
Portfolio), New York Municipals Portfolio (New York Portfolio), Ohio
Municipals Portfolio (Ohio Portfolio), Rhode Island Municipals Portfolio
(Rhode Island Portfolio) and West Virginia Municipals Portfolio (West Virginia
Portfolio), collectively the Portfolios, are registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as non-diversified open-end investment
management companies. The Portfolios 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 consistently followed by the Portfolios in the
preparation of their financial statements. 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
financial futures contracts listed on commodity exchanges are valued at
closing settlement prices. Over-the-counter options on financial futures are
normally valued at the mean between the latest bid and asked price. 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, deduction 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 of which is marked-to-market
daily. When a purchased option expires, the Portfolio will realize a loss in
the amount of the purchase of a put option on a financial futures contract by
a Portfolio, the premium paid is recorded as an investment, the value cost of
the option. When a Portfolio enters into a closing sales 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 put options is limited to the premium
originally paid.

<PAGE>
EV Municipals Portfolio as of March 31, 1997
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) CONT'D
G When-issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions -- The Portfolios may engage
in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Portfolios record
when-issued securities on trade date and maintain 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 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.
J Expense Reduction -- Investors Bank & Trust Company (IBT) serves as
custodian of the Portfolios. Pursuant to the respective 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 the Portfolios' custodian fees
are reflected as a reduction of operating expense on the statement of
operations.
K Interim Financial Information -- The interim financial statements relating
to March 31, 1997 and for the six months then ended have not been audited by
independent certified public accountants, but in the opinion of the
Portfolios' 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 March 31, 1997, each
Portfolio paid advisory fees as follows:
<TABLE>

-------------------------------------------------------------------
<S> <C> <C>
California $ 881,358 0.49%
Florida 1,367,238 0.46%

Mississippi 23,481 0.19%
New York 1,348,107 0.46%
Ohio 651,675 0.46%
Rhode Island 50,216 0.25%
West Virginia 45,688 0.24%
</TABLE>
* Advisory fees paid as a percentage of average daily net assets.
To enhance the net income of the Mississippi Portfolio and Rhode Island
Portfolio, BMR made a preliminary reduction of its fee in the amount of
$1,608, and $25,036, respectively.
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.
Certain of the officers and Trustees of the Portfolios are officers and
directors/trustees of the above organizations. 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
March 31, 1997, no significant amounts have been deferred.

5 Line of Credit
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Portfolio participates with other funds and portfolios managed by BMR
and EVM and its affiliates in a committed $120 million unsecured line of
credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings will be made by the
Portfolios or Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or
unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each fund
or portfolio based on its borrowings at the bank's base rate or at an amount
above either the bank's adjusted certificate of deposit rate, Eurodollar
rate or federal funds effective rate. In addition, a fee computed at an
annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of the facility is
allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each
quarter.
For the six months ended March 31, 1997, the New York Portfolio had an
average daily loan balance of $2,062,000 and an average interest rates of
5.97%. The Rhode Island Portfolio had an average loan balance of $565,176
and an average interest rate of 5.95%. The maximum loan balances outstanding

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 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 March 31,
1997, is as follows:
