Ladies and Gentlemen:
RE: RULE 24F-2 NOTICE FOR REPUBLIC FUNDS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED
OCTOBER 31, 1995.
This opinion is being furnished in connection with the registration,
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"), of an indefinite number of Shares of Beneficial Interest (par value
$0.001 per share) (the "Shares") of Republic Funds, a Massachusetts business
trust (the "Trust"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"). I understand that the Trust proposes to file a notice (the "Notice") with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to the
Trust for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995, pursuant to such Rule 24f-2
under the 1940 Act. This opinion is being furnished with a view to your filing
it with the Commission in conjunction with the filing of the Notice.
This opinion is limited solely to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts as applied by courts in such Commonwealth. This opinion is limited
solely to the Shares of the Trust as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 1995
as reflected in the Notice. I understand that the foregoing limitation is
acceptable to you.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, please be advised that it is
my opinion that the Shares covered by the Notice were legally issued and (to the
extent still outstanding) are fully paid and non-assessable, except that, as set
forth in the Trust's registration statement as currently in effect filed with
the Commission pursuant to the 1933 Act, shareholders of the Trust may under
certain circumstances be held personally liable for its obligations.
Very truly yours,
/s/PHILIP W. COOLDIGE
Philip W. Coolidge
