To the Shareholders

We are pleased to report on Seligman Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund for 
the six-month period ended March 31, 1995. 

During the six months, total dividends for Class A shares were $0.193 
per share. Net asset value of Class A shares was $7.66 per share on 
March 31, up from $7.55 on September 30, 1994. For Class D shares, total 
dividends were $0.160 per share. Net asset value of Class D shares was 
$7.66 per share on March 31, up from $7.54 on September 30, 1994. A 
capital gain distribution of $0.131 per share was paid on November 17, 
1994, to Class A and D shareholders of record November 10.

Highlights of your Fund's performance, long-term investment results, 
portfolio holdings, and financial statement follow this letter.

When we last reported to you at your Fund's 
year end, September 30, 1994, municipal bond yields, as measured by the 
Bond Buyer 20-Bond General Obligation Index, had increased by more than 
one full percentage point since the previous January (since yields move 
inversely to price, prices during this period declined). Yields 
continued to rise into the fourth quarter of 1994, hitting a high for 
the year of 7.06% on November 17. After months of lackluster demand for 
municipal bonds, these levels, the highest since 1991, began to attract 
both retail and institutional buyers. At the same time, inflation fears 
began to subside as the economy exhibited signs of slowing.

The combination of increased demand and improving market sentiment 
marked the beginning of a municipal bond market rally. Long-term yields 
began a steady decline that continued into the new year. The Federal 
Reserve Board provided an additional boost to the bond market recovery 
by once again raising the federal funds rate on February 1, 1995. This 
action had a positive effect on investor psychology by reinforcing 
expectations that the Fed ultimately will achieve its goal of stable 
inflation and moderate economic growth. By the end of the first quarter, 
the Bond Buyer Index had declined from 6.71% on December 29, 1994, to 
6.07%, exactly where it stood a year ago on March 31, 1994.

Looking forward, your Manager is optimistic about the prospects for the 
municipal bond market. The lack of supply of new issue municipal bonds 
should continue to contribute to the positive performance of the 
municipal market. Additionally, a moderating economy and a vigilant 
Federal Reserve Board should keep inflation in check and prevent a 
repeat of the dramatic increase in interest rates that characterized 
most of 1994.

Seligman Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund is well positioned to benefit from 
a decline in long-term yields by being concentrated, generally, in 
higher quality, long-term municipal bonds.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.     Effective February 1, 1994, Seligman Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund 
(the "Fund") began offering two classes of shares. All shares existing 
prior to February 1, 1994 have been classified as Class A shares. Class 
A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.75% and a 
continuing service fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. Class D shares 
are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a higher 
distribution fee and a contingent deferred sales load ("CDSL") of 1% 
imposed on certain redemptions made within one year of purchase. The two 
classes of shares represent interests in the same portfolio of 
investments, have the same rights and are generally identical in all 
respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and 
certain class expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to 
any matter to which a separate vote of any class is required.

2.     Significant accounting policies followed, all in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles, are given below:

a.     All tax-exempt securities and other short-term holdings maturing 
in more than 60 days are valued based upon quotations provided by an 
independent pricing service or, in their absence, at fair value 
determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. Short-
term holdings maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at 
amortized cost.

b.     There is no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund 
has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company and intends to 
distribute substantially all taxable net income and net gain realized. 
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly.

c.     Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. Identified 
cost of investments sold is used for both financial statement and 
federal income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual 
basis. The Fund amortizes original issue discounts and premiums paid on 
purchases of portfolio securities. Discounts other than original issue 
discounts are not amortized.

d.     All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses), and 
realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each 
class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the value of 
settled shares outstanding of each class. Class-specific expenses, which 
include distribution and service fees and any other items that can be 
specifically attributed to a particular class, are charged directly to 
such class.

e.     The treatment for financial statement purposes of distributions 
made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains 
may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax 
purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the 
timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense, and 
capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are 
permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net 
assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax 
purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, 
results of operations or net asset value per share of the Fund.

3.     Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term 
investments, for the six months ended March 31, 1995, amounted to $-0- 
and $2,032,250, respectively.
     At March 31, 1995, the cost of investments for federal income tax 
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting 
purposes, and the tax basis gross unrealized appreciation and 
depreciation of investments amounted to $1,322,959 and $639,289, 
respectively.

4.     J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (the "Manager") manages the 
affairs of the Fund and provides the necessary personnel and facilities. 
Compensation of all officers of the Fund, all trustees of the Fund who 
are employees or consultants of the Manager, and all personnel of the 
Fund and the Manager is paid by the Manager. The Manager's fee, 
calculated daily and payable monthly, is equal to 0.50% per annum of the 
Fund's average daily net assets. 

     Seligman Financial Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), agent for 
the distribution of the Fund's shares and an affiliate of the Manager, 
received commissions of $1,521 from the sale of Class A shares, after 
concessions of $11,356 paid to dealers.

                                       7

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

     The Fund has an Administration, Shareholder Services and 
Distribution Plan (the "Plan") with respect to Class A shares under 
which service organizations can enter into agreements with the 
Distributor and receive a continuing fee of up to 0.25% on an annual 
basis, payable quarterly, of the average daily net assets of the Class A 
shares attributable to the particular service organizations for 
providing personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder 
accounts. The Distributor charges such fees to the Fund pursuant to the 
Plan. For the six months ended March 31, 1995, fees paid aggregated 
$35,288, or 0.21% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class A 
shares.

     The Fund has a Plan with respect to Class D shares under which 
service organizations can enter into agreements with the Distributor and 
receive a continuing fee for providing personal services and/or the 
maintenance of shareholder accounts of up to 0.25% on an annual basis of 
the average daily net assets of the Class D shares for which the 
organizations are responsible, and fees for providing other distribution 
assistance of up to 0.75% on an annual basis of such average daily net 
assets. Such fees are paid monthly by the Fund to the Distributor 
pursuant to the Plan. For the six months ended March 31, 1995, fees paid 
amounted to $287, or 1% per annum of the average daily net assets of 
Class D shares.

     The Distributor is entitled to retain any CDSL imposed on certain 
redemptions of Class D shares occurring within one year of purchase. For 
the six 
months ended March 31, 1995, there were no such charges.

     Seligman Data Corp., which is owned by certain associated 
investment companies, charged at cost $32,225 for shareholder account 
services.

     Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are officers or directors 
of the Manager, the Distributor, and/or Seligman Data Corp.

     Fees of $4,000 were incurred by the Fund for the legal services of 
Sullivan & Cromwell, a member of which firm is a trustee of the Fund.

     The Fund has a compensation arrangement under which trustees who 
receive fees may elect to defer receiving such fees. Interest is accrued 
on the deferred balances. The cost of such fees and interest is included 
in trustees' fees and expenses, and the accumulated balance thereof at 
March 31, 1995, of $33,468 is included in other liabilities.

5.     Class-specific expenses charged to Class A and 
Class D during the six months ended March 31, 1995, which are included 
in the corresponding captions of the Statement of Operations, were as 
follows:

                                         Class A        Class D

Financial Highlights

The Fund's financial highlights are presented below. The per share 
operating performance data is designed to allow investors to trace the 
operating performance, on a per share basis, from the Fund's beginning 
net asset value to the ending net asset value so that they can 
understand what effect the individual items have on their investment 
assuming it was held throughout the period. Generally, the per share 
amounts are derived by converting the actual dollar amounts incurred for 
each item as disclosed in the financial statements to their equivalent 
per share amounts using average shares outstanding.

The total return based on net asset value measures the Fund's 
performance assuming investors purchased Fund shares at net asset value 
as of the beginning of the period, reinvested dividends and capital 
gains paid at net asset value, and then sold their shares at the net 
asset value per share on the last day of the period. The total return 
computations do not reflect any sales charges investors may incur in 
purchasing or selling shares of the Fund. The total returns for periods 
of less than one year are not annualized.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Trustees and Shareholders,
Seligman Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, 
including the portfolio of investments, of Seligman Pennsylvania Tax-
Exempt Fund as of March 31, 1995, the related statements of operations 
for the six months then ended and of changes in net assets for the six 
months then ended and for the year ended September 30, 1994, and the 
financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial 
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and 
financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit 
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and 
disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included 
confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 1995 by correspondence 
with the Fund's custodian. An audit also includes assessing the 
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, 
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We 
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights 
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 
Seligman Pennsylvania Tax-Exempt Fund as of March 31, 1995, the results 
of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial
