Fellow Shareholders

Vigorous economic growth and Federal Reserve tightening dominated the fixed
income markets in 1994. Real growth of 4% last year exceeded the historical
trend of approximately 2.5%. The target for the fed funds rate climbed with
the economy's strong pace, rising from 3% at the beginning of last year to 6%
on February 1, 1995. The Federal Reserve pursued its monetary policy to slow
economic growth to a level that will contain inflation. Future Fed action will
reflect its goal of preventing excessive inflation without spurring
significantly higher unemployment.
     Rising yields characterized the tax-exempt market during most of 1994.
The yield on one-year AAA General Obligation (GO) bonds peaked in December at
4.9%, up from 3% at the end of February 1994. However, as the market
strengthened over the last several months, the one-year yield retreated to
4.4% by fiscal year-end. The five-year AAA GO bond yield ended this quarter at
5%, 70 basis points higher than a year ago but 50 basis points lower than at
the end of November (100 basis points are one percent). On the long end, the
yield on AAA 30-year GO bonds was almost 6%, up from 5.6% a year earlier but
down from its November peak of 6.8%.
     Yields declined after the Fed's sixth tightening of the year in
November. Anticipation of a slowing economy, good news on inflation, and
limited supply of tax-exempt bonds all contributed to the recent drop in
yields. Issuance fell to a four-year low last year and so far is even lower in
1995. 
     California's long-awaited economic recovery finally got under way in
1994. We expect it to continue at a modest pace this year, ushering in an
improvement in state finances, although the state is still struggling under
the weight of a $1.7 billion deficit. We are uncertain about the outlook for
the fiscal 1996 budget, now being considered, because of the governor's plan
to cut both taxes and spending and erase the accumulated deficit by June 30,
1996. Recent flooding throughout the state could also pose budget problems.
The state's general obligation bonds were downgraded in mid-1994, following
several years of economic weakness. However, we do not not expect further
rating downgrades in 1995.

     The Orange County bankruptcy filing late last year was a major event in
the municipal market. Previously, the county had enjoyed a Aa1 rating by
Moody's for many of its securities. Virtually overnight its credit rating
plunged to speculative grade because of the inappropriate investment
activities of the county's treasurer. As a result of our research earlier in
the year, we were uneasy with Orange County's investment practices. We did not
include its securities in the California Tax-Free Money Fund, and the
California Tax-Free Bond Fund's exposure was minimal.

California Tax-Free Money Fund

Last year's rise in interest rates was bad news for bond investors but good
news for money market investors as current yields rose substantially during
the past 12 months. Your fund's seven-day compound yield stood at 3.41% at the
end of the fiscal year, compared with 1.96% a year ago.
     During the past 12 months, the municipal short-term yield curve has
steepened sharply. For example, the difference between the yield on an
overnight investment and a one-year security averaged 1.21 percentage points
over the past year, compared with an average difference of 0.48 of a
percentage point during the preceding 12-month period. The long end of the
money market curve followed the rate rise orchestrated by the Fed, while very
short-term yields stayed low, responding to light supply and strong investor
demand.
     Your fund ended its fiscal year with a weighted average maturity of 34
days, in line with its peer group average of 33 days, but significantly
shorter than the 49-day average at the beginning of the year. Because of the
uncertainty surrounding short-term securities in the state during the last
quarter, California funds in general maintained a shorter weighted average
maturity than nationally diversified funds. While we expect the short-term
market to remain sensitive to further rate hikes, the light supply of new
issues, low dealer inventories, and solid demand induce us to keep maturities
in line with our peer group average.
     Issuance of short-term securities fell to $34.1 billion from $45.4
billion during the fiscal year, the lowest level in five years. Borrowers
flocked to the market in 1992 and 1993 to lock in historically low borrowing
costs. Even though California and its various municipalities are the largest
issuers of notes, our stringent credit policy narrows our universe of suitable
investments. This problem grew worse during the past quarter because of the
far-reaching consequences of the Orange County debacle.

     Our comprehensive research is the key to achieving the fund's primary
goal of assuring stability of principal. Your fund's performance marginally
lagged its peer group for both the last three months and the fiscal year ended
February 28, in large part reflecting our high credit standards.

California Tax-Free Bond Fund

New bond issuance in the state fell sharply over the past year, in line with
the rest of the country, as higher rates discouraged borrowers and statewide
elections put financing plans on hold. California sold $1.2 billion worth of
issues during the first two months of 1995 compared with $4.4 billion during
January and February 1994. Sparse supply, combined with recovery from the
Orange County calamity, helped California outperform the general municipal
market for the year to date.

     Our strategy during the first three quarters of the fiscal year was to
keep duration relatively short and maintain both liquidity and a high average
credit quality. We held duration, which measures sensitivity to changes in
interest rates, near or below 7.5 years, and kept a reasonably high cash
reserve of about 5%. We also underweighted health care and solid waste
sectors, where competition has weakened credit quality. As mentioned, we
limited exposure to Orange County when our independent research made us
uncomfortable with its investment practices.
     During the final quarter of the fiscal year, we changed course modestly
and lengthened duration to take advantage of November's high interest rates as
well as weak demand for California bonds because of the situation in Orange
County. Duration lengthened to 7.63 years at fiscal year-end, a more neutral
and less defensive posture. 
     Our strategy served the fund well, allowing it to significantly
outperform its peer group over the difficult 12 months ended February 28.
Fourth quarter performance was very strong, although it lagged the
competition.

Outlook

The U.S. economy should continue to grow, although at a lower rate than in
1994. To date, the Fed's actions appear to be starting to slow the pace of
growth, keeping inflation in check. However, in the near term, we do expect
some acceleration in inflation based on tight labor markets and relatively
high capacity utilization. This may result in somewhat higher interest rates
over the next few months, but most likely lower than the levels reached in the
fall. Moreover, light new issuance combined with continued strong demand for
tax-exempt bonds could result in better overall returns in the municipal bond
market in 1995.
      It is worth noting that 1994 was tumultuous for fixed income investors
because of rising interest rates, widespread misuse of derivatives, and a
large municipal bankruptcy. We want to assure you that we will continue to
make investments that are appropriate for each fund's risk profile. In those
funds that can purchase derivatives, our exposure has been modest and has not
introduced undue risk for shareholders. In addition, our avoidance of the
Orange County crisis reinforces the value of thorough credit research. 
      We appreciate the continued confidence all our shareholders have placed
in us.

                                Respectfully submitted,

Notes to Financial Statements

T. Rowe Price California Tax-Free Income Trust / February 28, 1995

Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies

T. Rowe Price California Tax-Free Income Trust (the Trust) is registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end
management investment company.  The California Tax-Free Money Fund (the
Money Fund) and the California Tax-Free Bond Fund (the Bond Fund) are the
two portfolios established under the Trust.  

A) Valuation - Debt securities are generally traded in the
over-the-counter market.  Investments in securities with remaining
maturities of one year or more are stated at fair value as furnished by
dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing
service, which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality,
coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make
markets in such securities.  Except with respect to certain securities
held by the Money Fund, securities with remaining maturities less than one
year are stated at fair value which is determined by using a matrix system
that establishes a value for each security based on money market yields. 
Securities held by the Money Fund with remaining maturities of 60 days or
less are valued at amortized cost.

Assets and liabilities for which the above valuation procedures are
inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair
value as determined in good faith by or under the supervision of the
officers of the fund, as authorized by the Board of Trustees.

B) Premiums and Discounts - Premiums and discounts on municipal securities
are accounted for in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which
require the amortization of all premiums and discounts except market
discounts.  Market discounts are included in the gain or loss recorded on
disposition of the security for financial reporting purposes and ordinary
income for tax purposes.

C) Other - Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. 
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized
gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. Distributions
to shareholders are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend date.  Income
and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 2 - Investment Transactions

Purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Bond Fund, other than
short-term securities, aggregated $99,214,000 and $109,616,000,
respectively, for the period ended February 28, 1995. 

Note 3 - Federal Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes is required since each fund intends
to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute
all of its income.  The Money Fund has unused realized capital loss
carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $45,000; $19,000 of which
expire in 1997, and $26,000 in 1998.  The Bond Fund has unused realized
capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of $3,204,000
which expire in 2003.  Capital loss carryforwards utilized in period ended
February 28, 1995 amounted to $1,000 for the Money Fund.  Each fund
intends to retain gains realized in future periods that may be offset by
available capital loss carryforwards.
      In order for the Bond Fund's capital accounts and distributions to
shareholders to reflect the tax character of certain transactions, $73,000
of undistributed net realized gains were reclassified as a decrease to
paid-in-capital during the period ended February 28, 1995. The results of
operations and net assets were not affected by the reclassifications.

Notes to Financial Statements (cont'd)

      At February 28, 1995, the aggregate cost of investments for the
Money and Bond Funds for federal income tax and financial reporting
purposes was $76,141,000 and $127,106,000, respectively.  Net unrealized

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions

The investment management agreement between each fund and T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc. (the Manager) provides for an annual investment
management fee, of which $10,000 for the Money Fund and $34,000 for the
Bond Fund was payable at February 28, 1995.  The fee is computed daily and
paid monthly, and consists of an Individual Fund Fee equal to 0.10% of
average daily net assets and a Group Fee.  The Group Fee is based on the
combined assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by the Manager or
Rowe-Price Fleming International, Inc. (the Group).  The Group Fee rate
ranges from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.31% for assets
in excess of $34 billion.  At February 28, 1995, and for the period then
ended, the effective annual Group Fee rate was 0.34%.  Each fund pays a
pro rata share of the Group Fee based on the ratio of its net assets to
those of the Group.
      Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the Manager
is required to bear any expenses through February 28, 1995, for the Money
and Bond Funds, which would cause each fund's ratio of expenses to average
net assets to exceed 0.55% and 0.60%, respectively. Pursuant to this
agreement, $179,000 and $102,000 of management fees were not accrued by
the Money Fund and the Bond Fund, respectively, for the period ended
February 28, 1995, and, pursuant to a previous agreement, $225,000 and
$154,000, respectively, remain unaccrued from prior periods.  Subject to
shareholder approval, each fund may reimburse the Manager for these
expenses, provided that average net assets have grown or expenses have
declined sufficiently to allow reimbursement without causing each fund's
ratio of expenses to average net assets to exceed 0.55% and 0.60%,
respectively.  Pursuant to a previous agreement, $485,000 and $364,000 of
unaccrued fees and other expenses borne by the Manager in the Money and
Bond Funds, respectively, were permanently waived at February 28, 1995.
      In addition, each fund has entered into agreements with the Manager
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, pursuant to which each fund
receives certain other services.  The Manager computes the daily share
price and maintains the financial records of each fund. T. Rowe Price
Services, Inc. (TRPS) is each fund's transfer and dividend disbursing
agent and provides shareholder and administrative services to each fund. 
The Money and Bond Funds incurred expenses pursuant to these related party
agreements totaling approximately $156,000 and $177,000, respectively, for
the period ended February 28, 1995, of which $14,000 and $17,000,
respectively, were payable at period end.

Report of Independent Accountants

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
of T. Rowe Price California Tax-Free Funds

    We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of T. Rowe
Price California Tax-Free Money Fund and T. Rowe Price California Tax-Free
Bond Fund (the two portfolios comprising the T. Rowe Price California
Tax-Free Income Trust) as of February 28, 1995, and the related statement
of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net
assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the
financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. 
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility
of the Funds' management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
    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 investments owned as of February 28, 1995, by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
    In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of T. Rowe Price California Tax-Free Money Fund and T. Rowe Price
California Tax-Free Bond Fund as of February 28, 1995, the results of
their operations, the changes in their net assets, and financial
highlights for each of the respective periods stated in the first
paragraph, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
