Dear
shareholder
[Photo of Richard J. Franke appears here]
"Over time, municipal bonds
have proven to
be a valuable
and dependable component of
successful investment programs."
Since the beginning of 1995, we have enjoyed a welcome rebound in the bond
markets, as we put 1994-a dismal period in bond market history-behind us. This
year serves as a reminder that weathering the ups and downs of the market is a
normal part of the investment process. It helps to put things in perspective if
we remember one of the basic principles of investing: A financial plan that
focuses on your long-term goals minimizes the impact of any short-term market
volatility.
Municipal bond funds continue to be one of the best ways to invest for the
long term, offering diversification across market sectors and states, relative
stability of principal, and steady income. Through-out this period, we have kept
our sights focused on meeting these objectives, providing you with a source of
stable current income, credit quality, and enhanced share price relative to the
market as a whole.
As of August 31, 1995, the current yield on the net asset value of Class R
shares was 5.02% for the Municipal Bond Fund and 5.34% for the Insured Municipal
Bond Fund. To match these yields, an investor in the 36% federal income tax
bracket would have had to earn at least 7.84% on taxable alternatives, which
would be difficult to achieve using securities of comparable credit quality.
3
<PAGE>
In addition, both of the funds covered in this report posted gains in net
asset value over August 31, 1994, figures, reflecting growth of fund principal.
The 12-month total returns for these funds, incorporating share price gains as
well as reinvested dividend income, were 8.16% for the Municipal Bond Fund and
8.76% for the Insured Municipal Bond Fund. That is equivalent to taxable total
returns of 11.49% and 12.01%, respectively.
These performance results remind us of the important role that municipal
bonds--and the tax-free income they provide--can play as part of an investment
strategy focused on diversification and long-term performance. Over time,
municipal bonds have proven to be a valuable and dependable component of
successful investment programs.
The value and dependability of your municipal bond investments are enhanced by
the fact that you have chosen tax-free mutual funds managed by Nuveen. We offer
a combination of professional management, award-winning research, and
shareholder service that distinguishes Nuveen as a fund manager.
We use a disciplined approach to security selection and portfolio construction
designed to deliver above-market performance by emphasizing securities that are
underpriced or undervalued by the market. This approach is supported by the
strength of Nuveen Research, which provides the insights and experience to
assist portfolio managers in identifying and selecting bonds with strong credit
quality. Our research professionals continually monitor our holdings.
Nuveen also prides itself on its superior service to shareholders. Through
annual and semiannual reports, regular statements, and our toll-free information
lines, our communication programs help us stay in touch with your needs and
concerns. We also provide support to financial advisers across the nation by
supplying them with the information they need to answer your questions and
ensure that products are selected to meet your needs.
As you review the following pages detailing the performance of your tax-free
mutual fund, I hope you come away with the feeling that these results, coupled
with Nuveen's continued pledge of superior service, add up to a rewarding
investing experience. We look forward to serving your tax-free investment needs
in the future.
Sincerely,
/s/ Richard J. Franke

Answering your
questions
Tom Spalding, head of Nuveen's portfolio management team, offers insights into
our approach to fund management and the outlook for Nuveen's Tax-Free Mutual
Funds.
What does
Nuveen mean by
"value investing"?
At Nuveen, we define value investing as a disciplined approach to security
selection and portfolio construction designed to deliver above-market
performance by emphasizing securities that are underpriced or undervalued by the
market. Our value investing approach avoids predictions about the direction of
the markets or the economy in general, concentrating instead on identifying
individual bonds with current yields, prices, credit quality, and future
prospects that are exceptionally attractive in relation to other bonds in the
market.
While the concept sounds simple, successful value investing must be based on
sound research that supports the selection of quality bonds. It also requires an
ability to recognize value by gaining insights into individual issuers as well
as specific bonds-information that often goes beyond that which is readily

available to the market in general. Having the largest research staff in the
investment management industry dedicated exclusively to gathering this type of
information on municipal bonds is reflected in the long-term results of our
value investing approach.
We believe that value investing gives us an important edge in the management of
municipal bond funds, an edge that translates to helping you meet your goals and
expectations.
How does the work
done by Nuveen's
Research Department
help support the
value of my funds?
At Nuveen, we believe that attention to detail combined with years of experience
is the foundation for sound research. And sound research is one of the core
elements of our disciplined approach to providing you with dependable income,
credit quality, and diversification--key elements of a successful fixed income
investment program.
Our award-winning team of more than 30 research professionals provides
invaluable support to our portfolio managers, assisting them in careful analysis
of bond issues considered for purchase-even those rated AAA by the rating
agencies.
On a daily basis, our research analysts prepare credit reviews to assist in
the selection of bonds that offer the best combination of yield and security,
monitor the continued creditworthiness of portfolio holdings, and analyze
economic, political, and demographic trends affecting the markets. This daily
6

surveillance of events and trends in the credit markets assists us in monitoring
the underlying value of our holdings.
This combination of in depth research and review helps your tax-free municipal
investments to meet your expectations for dependable income and credit safety.
What impact have
Federal Reserve
Board actions had
on bond prices?
Between February 1994 and February 1995, the Federal Reserve Board moved an
unprecedented seven times to raise short-term interest rates. Board chairman
Greenspan justified the hikes in short-term rates on the basis that the
increases would cause the economy to slow enough in the future to relieve any
inflationary pressures and avoid a significant increase in the rate of
inflation. These increases in short-term rates reduced demand for long-term
bonds, which had the complementary effects of lowering bond prices and raising
bond yields.
On July 6, 1995, after much anticipation, the Federal Reserve Board cautiously
declared victory for this policy, making its first move to ease rates in nearly
three years. Long-term bond yields had already fallen substantially, in
anticipation of the Fed's move. In subsequent meetings, the Fed has held off on
any further action, sending the message that it believes the economy is on the
right track.
7
<PAGE>
What is the
current outlook for
municipal bonds?
With the rebound in the bond market at the beginning of 1995 and some consensus
that inflation is under control, economic indicators are favorable for municipal
bonds. Technical issues also point to a more favorable climate.
One technical issue that affects bond prices is the supply and demand
situation. While supplies of municipal bonds had been lagging over the past few
quarters, new issue supply rose sharply in the second quarter of 1995. Demand
has been somewhat subdued by extraordinary market volatility over the past 18
months and by the mounting discussion of the ramifications of proposed tax law
reforms.
We believe that municipal bonds continue to be a fundamentally sound and
attractive investment option, offering one of the few remaining tax-advantaged
alternatives. Once investors are more confident that the interest rate
environment has stabilized, we expect to see the demand for municipal
investments resume its long-term upward trend.

followed by each Fund in the preparation of their financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Securities Valuation
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices or the yield equivalent. Portfolio securities
for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value by consistent application of methods
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors/Trustees.
Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate
and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities
are traded and valued at amortized cost.
Securities Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
Transactions Realized gains and losses from such transactions are
determined on the specific identification method. Securities
purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may be settled a month or more after the transaction date.
Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation
during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian
to segregate assets in a separate account with a current
value at least equal to the amount of their purchase
commitments. At August 31, 1995, Insured Municipal Bond had
purchase commitments of $3,476,729. Municipal Bond had no
such purchase commitments.

Interest Income Interest income is determined on the basis of interest
accrued, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts on long-term debt securities when required for
federal income tax purposes.
Dividends and Net investment income is declared as a dividend monthly and
Distributions to payment is made or reinvestment is credited to shareholder
Shareholders accounts after month-end. Net realized gains from securities
transactions are distributed to shareholders not less
frequently than annually only to the extent they exceed
available capital loss carryovers.
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and
net realized gains from investment transactions are recorded
on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of such
distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, temporary over-
distributions as a result of these differences may result and
will be classified as either distributions in excess of net
investment income or distributions in excess of accumulated
net realized gains from investment transactions, if
applicable.
Federal Income Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax
Taxes purposes and intends to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies by distributing all of its net investment income,
in addition to any significant amounts of net realized gains
from investments, to shareholders. The Funds currently
consider significant net realized gains as amounts in excess
of $.001 per share. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy
conditions which will enable interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular federal income tax,
to retain such tax exempt status when distributed to the
shareholders of the Funds.

Insurance Insured Municipal Bond invests in municipal securities which
are covered by insurance guaranteeing timely payment of
principal and interest thereon or backed by an escrow or
trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities to ensure the timely payment of
principal and interest. Each insured municipal security is
covered by Original Issue Insurance, Secondary Market
Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the
value of the Fund's shares. Original Issue Insurance and
Secondary Market Insurance remain in effect as long as the
municipal securities covered thereby remain outstanding and
the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the
Fund ultimately disposes of such municipal securities.
Consequently, the market value of the municipal securities
covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary Market
Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance.
Portfolio Insurance is effective only while the municipal
securities are held by the Fund. Accordingly, neither the
prices used in determining the market value of the underlying
municipal securities nor the net asset value of the Fund's
shares include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio
Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does,
however, give the Fund the right to obtain permanent
insurance with respect to the municipal security covered by
the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale.

Flexible Sales Charge
Effective September 6, 1994 for Insured Municipal Bond and
Program June 13, 1995 for Municipal Bond, both Funds commenced
offering Class "A" Shares and Class "C" Shares. Class "A"
Shares incur a front-end sales charge and an annual 12b-1
service fee. Class "C" Shares are sold without a sales charge
but incur annual 12b-1 distribution and service fees.
Effective June 13, 1995, for both Funds, an investor
purchasing Class "C" Shares agrees to pay a contingent
deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1% if Class "C" Shares are
redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
Prior to the offering of Class "A" and Class "C" Shares, the
shares outstanding for both Funds were renamed Class "R" and
are not subject to any 12b-1 distribution or service fees.
Effective with the offering of the new classes, Class "R"
Shares are generally available only for reinvestment of
dividends by current "R" shareholders and for already
established Nuveen Unit Investment Trust reinvestment
accounts.
Derivative Financial
In October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
Instruments (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
119 Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and
Fair Value of Financial Instruments which prescribes
disclosure requirements for transactions in certain
derivative financial instruments including futures, forward,
swap, and option contracts, and other financial instruments
with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are
authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and may
do so in the future, they did not make any such investments
during the six months ended August 31, 1995, other than
occasional purchases of high quality synthetic money market
securities which were held temporarily pending the re-
investment in long-term portfolio securities.

2. EXPENSE ALLOCATION
Expenses of the Funds that are not directly attributable to
any class of shares are prorated among the classes based on
the relative net assets of each class. Expenses directly
attributable to a class of shares are recorded to the
specific class. Effective August 1, 1995, the Funds adopted a
multiple class plan pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and now designate class
specific expenses to include Rule 12b-1 distribution and
service fees, and other expenses incurred for services
received by a class that differ in either amount of kind. A
breakdown of the class specific expenses for the six months
ended August 31, 1995, are as follows:

7. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under the Funds' investment management agreements with Nuveen
Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
The John Nuveen Company, each Fund pays to the Adviser an
annual management fee, payable monthly, at the rates set
forth below which are based upon the average daily net asset
value of each Fund:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSET VALUE MANAGEMENT FEE
- ----------------------------------------------------
<S> <C>
For the first $125,000,000 .5 of 1%
For the next $125,000,000 .4875 of 1
For the next $250,000,000 .475 of 1
For the next $500,000,000 .4625 of 1
For the next $1,000,000,000 .45 of 1
For net assets over $2,000,000,000 .425 of 1
</TABLE>
The management fee is reduced by, or the Adviser assumes
certain expenses of each Fund, in an amount necessary to
prevent the total expenses of each Fund (including the
management fee, but excluding interest, taxes, fees incurred
in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, 12b-1
Service and Distribution fees, if applicable, and to the
extent permitted, extraordinary expenses) in any fiscal year
from exceeding .75 of 1% of the average daily net asset value
of Municipal Bond and .975 of 1% of the average daily net
asset value of Insured Municipal Bond. The Adviser may also
voluntarily agree to reimburse additional expenses from time
to time, which may be voluntarily terminated at any time at
its discretion.
The management fee referred to above compensates the Adviser
for overall investment advisory and administrative services,
and general office facilities. The Funds pay no compensation
directly to their Directors/Trustees who are affiliated with
the Adviser or to their officers, all of whom receive
remuneration for their services to the Funds from the
Adviser.

Certain long-term and intermediate-term investments owned by
the Funds are covered by insurance issued by several private
insurers or are backed by an escrow or trust containing U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities, either of
which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest in
the event of default (29% for Municipal Bond, 100% for
Insured Municipal Bond). Such insurance or escrow, however,
does not guarantee the market value of the municipal
securities or the value of the Funds' shares.
75% of the temporary investments in short-term municipal
securities owned by Municipal Bond have credit enhancements
(letters of credit, guarantees or insurance) issued by third
party domestic or foreign banks or other institutions.

security, refer to the Portfolio of Investments of each Fund.

Dear
shareholder
[PHOTO OF RICHARD J. FRANKE]
"Over time,
municipal bonds
have proven to
be a valuable
and dependable
component of
successful investment
programs."
Since the beginning of 1995, we have enjoyed a welcome rebound in the bond
markets, as we put 1994-a dismal period in bond market history-behind us. This
year serves as a reminder that weathering the ups and downs of the market is a
normal part of the investment process. It helps to put things in perspective if
we remember one of the basic principles of investing: A financial plan that
focuses on your long-term goals minimizes the impact of any short-term market
volatility.
Municipal bond funds continue to be one of the best ways to invest for the
long term, offering diversification across market sectors, relative stability of
principal, and steady income. Throughout this period, we have kept our sights
focused on meeting these objectives, providing you with a source of stable
current income, credit quality, and enhanced share price relative to the market
as a whole.
As of August 31, 1995, the current yields on net asset values of Class R
shares for the funds covered in this report ranged from 4.92% to 5.41%. To match
these yields, an investor in the 36% federal income tax bracket would have had
to earn at least 7.69% on taxable alternatives, which would be difficult to
achieve using securities of comparable credit quality. When state taxes are
added to this equation, the after-tax yield advantage provided by municipal
bonds is even greater.
3
<PAGE>
In addition, each of the funds in this report posted gains in net asset value
over August 31, 1994, figures, reflecting growth of fund principal. The 12-month
total returns for these funds, incorporating share price gains as well as
reinvested dividend income, ranged from 7.50% to 8.24%. That is equivalent to
taxable total returns in a range of 11.82% to 12.67%.
These performance results remind us of the important role that municipal
bonds-and the tax-free income they provide-can play as part of an investment
strategy focused on diversification and long-term performance. Over time,
municipal bonds have proven to be a valuable and dependable component of
successful investment programs.
The value and dependability of your municipal bond investments are enhanced by
the fact that you have chosen tax-free mutual funds managed by Nuveen. We offer
a combination of professional management, award-winning research, and
shareholder service that distinguishes Nuveen as a fund manager.
We use a disciplined approach to security selection and portfolio construction
designed to deliver above-market performance by emphasizing securities that are
underpriced or undervalued by the market. This approach is supported by the
strength of Nuveen Research, which provides the insights and experience to
assist portfolio managers in identifying and selecting bonds with strong credit
quality. Our research professionals continually monitor our holdings in order to
alert portfolio managers of changes that will affect quality.
Nuveen also prides itself on its superior service to shareholders. Through
annual and semiannual reports, regular statements, and our toll-free information
lines, our communication programs help us stay in touch with your needs and
concerns. We also provide support to financial advisers across the nation by
supplying them with the information they need to answer your questions and
ensure that products are selected to meet your needs.
As you review the following pages detailing the performance of your tax-free
mutual fund, I hope you come away with the feeling that these results, coupled
with Nuveen's continued pledge of superior service, add up to a rewarding
investing experience. We look forward to serving your tax-free investment needs
in the future.
Sincerely,
/s/ Richard J. Franke

Answering your
questions
Tom Spalding, head of Nuveen's
portfolio management team,
offers insights into our approach
to fund management and the
outlook for Nuveen's Tax-Free
Mutual Funds.
What does
Nuveen mean by
"value investing"?
At Nuveen, we define value investing as a disciplined approach to security
selection and portfolio construction designed to deliver above-market
performance by emphasizing securities that are underpriced or undervalued by the
market. Our value investing approach avoids predictions about the direction of
the markets or the economy in general, concentrating instead on identifying
individual bonds with current yields, prices, credit quality, and future
prospects that are exceptionally attractive in relation to other bonds in the
market.
While the concept sounds simple, successful value investing must be based on
sound research that supports the selection of quality bonds. It also requires an
ability to recognize value by gaining insights into individual issuers as well
as specific bonds-information that often goes beyond that which is readily

available to the market in general. Having the largest research staff in the
investment management industry dedicated exclusively to gathering this type of
information on municipal bonds is reflected in the long-term results of our
value investing approach.
We believe that value investing gives us an important edge in the management
of municipal bond funds, an edge that translates to helping you meet your goals
and expectations.
How does the work
done by Nuveen's
Research Department
help support the
value of my funds?
At Nuveen, we believe that attention to detail combined with years of experience
is the foundation for sound research. And sound research is one of the core
elements of our disciplined approach to providing you with dependable income,
credit quality, and diversification-key elements of a successful fixed income
investment program.
Our award-winning team of more than 30 research professionals provides
invaluable support to our portfolio managers, assisting them in careful analysis
of bond issues considered for purchase-even those rated AAA by the rating
agencies.
On a daily basis, our research analysts prepare credit reviews to assist in
the selection of bonds that offer the best combination of yield and security,
monitor the continued creditworthiness of portfolio holdings, and analyze
economic, political, and demographic trends affecting the markets. This daily
6

surveillance of events and trends in the credit markets assists us in monitoring
the underlying value of our holdings.
This combination of in depth research and review helps your tax-free municipal
investments to meet your expectations for dependable income and credit safety.
What impact have
Federal Reserve
Board actions had on
bond prices?
Between February 1994 and February 1995, the Federal Reserve Board moved an
unprecedented seven times to raise short-term interest rates. Board chairman
Greenspan justified the hikes in short-term rates on the basis that the
increases would cause the economy to slow enough in the future to relieve any
inflationary pressures and avoid a significant increase in the rate of
inflation. These increases in short-term rates reduced demand for long-term
bonds, which had the complementary effects of lowering bond prices and raising
bond yields.
On July 6, 1995, after much anticipation, the Federal Reserve Board cautiously
declared victory for this policy, making its first move to ease rates in nearly
three years. Long-term bond yields had already fallen substantially, in
anticipation of the Fed's move. In subsequent meetings, the Fed has held off on
any further action, sending the message that it believes the economy is on the
right track.
7
<PAGE>
What is the
current outlook for
municipal bonds?
With the rebound in the bond market at the beginning of 1995 and some consensus
that inflation is under control, economic indicators are favorable for municipal
bonds. Technical issues also point to a more favorable climate.
One technical issue that affects bond prices is the supply and demand
situation. While supplies of municipal bonds had been lagging over the past few
quarters, new issue supply rose sharply in the second quarter of 1995. Demand
has been somewhat subdued by extraordinary market volatility over the past 18
months and by the mounting discussion of the ramifications of proposed tax law
reforms.
We believe that municipal bonds continue to be a fundamentally sound and
attractive investment option, offering one of the few remaining tax-advantaged
alternatives. Once investors are more confident that the interest rate
environment has stabilized, we expect to see the demand for municipal
investments resume its long-term upward trend.

NUVEEN TAX-FREE MUTUAL FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
AUGUST 31, 1995
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
At August 31, 1995, the state Funds (the "Funds") covered in
this report are Nuveen California Tax-Free Fund, Inc.
(comprised of the Nuveen California and California Insured
Tax-Free Value Funds), Nuveen Tax-Free Bond Fund, Inc.
(comprised of the Nuveen Massachusetts, New York and Ohio
Tax-Free Value Funds) and Nuveen Insured Tax-Free Bond Fund,
Inc. (comprised of the Nuveen Massachusetts and New York
Insured Tax-Free Value Funds).
Additional state Funds covering other states may be
established in the future. Each Fund invests primarily in a
diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by
state and local government authorities in a single state.
Each Fund issues shares of each of its classes at a price
equal to net asset value of such class plus the appropriate
front-end sales charge, if any.
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 as open-end, diversified management investment
companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
followed by each Fund in the preparation of their financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Securities Valuation
Portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily
available are valued at the mean between the quoted bid and
asked prices or the yield equivalent. Portfolio securities
for which market quotations are not readily available are
valued at fair value by consistent application of methods
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Temporary
investments in securities that have variable rate and demand
features qualifying them as short-term securities are traded
and valued at amortized cost.
Securities Transactions
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.
Realized gains and losses from such transactions are
determined on the specific identification method. Securities
purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis
may be settled a month or more after the transaction date.
Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation
during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian
to segregate assets in a separate account with a current
value at least equal to the amount of their purchase
commitments. At August 31, 1995, there were such purchase
commitments in California, California Insured and Ohio of
$4,985,967, $9,983,381 and $2,692,333, respectively. There
were no such purchase commitments in any of the other Funds.
61
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Interest Income Interest income is determined on the basis of interest
accrued, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion
of discounts on long-term debt securities when required for
federal income tax purposes.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Net investment income is declared as a dividend monthly and
payment is made or reinvestment is credited to shareholder
accounts after month-end. Net realized gains from investment
transactions are distributed to shareholders not less
frequently than annually only to the extent they exceed
available capital loss carryovers.
Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and
net realized gains from investment transactions are recorded
on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of such
distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from generally
accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, temporary over-
distributions as a result of these differences may result and
will be classified as either distributions in excess of net
investment income or distributions in excess of accumulated
net realized gains from investment transactions, if
applicable.
Income Tax Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax
purposes and intends to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies by distributing all of its net investment income,
in addition to any significant amounts of net realized gains
from investments, to shareholders. The Funds currently
consider significant net realized gains as amounts in excess
of $.001 per share. Futhermore, each Fund intends to satisfy
conditions which will enable interest from municipal
securities, which is exempt from regular federal and
designated state income taxes, to retain such tax exempt
status when distributed to the shareholders of the Funds.
Insurance The California Insured, Massachusetts Insured, and New York
Insured Tax-Free Value Funds invest in municipal securities
which are covered by insurance guaranteeing the timely
payment of principal and interest thereon or backed by an
escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government
or U.S. Government agency securities to ensure the timely
payment of principal and interest. Each insured municipal
security is covered by Original Issue Insurance, Secondary
Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does
not guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or
the value of the Funds' shares. Original Issue Insurance and
Secondary Market Insurance remain in effect as long as the
municipal securities covered thereby remain outstanding and
the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the
Funds ultimately dispose of such municipal securities.
62
<PAGE>
NUVEEN TAX-FREE MUTUAL FUNDS SEMIANNUAL REPORT
AUGUST 31, 1995
Consequently, the market value of the municipal securities
covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary Market
Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance.
Portfolio Insurance is effective only while the municipal
securities are held by the Funds. Accordingly, neither the
prices used in determining the market value of the underlying
municipal securities nor the net asset value of the Funds'
shares include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio
Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does,
however, give the Funds the right to obtain permanent
insurance with respect to the municipal security covered by
the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale.
Flexible Sales Charge Program
Effective September 6, 1994, each Fund commenced offering
Class "A" Shares and Class "C" Shares. Class "A" Shares incur
a front-end sales charge and an annual 12b-1 service fee.
Class "C" Shares are sold without a sales charge but incur
annual 12b-1 distribution and service fees. Effective June
13, 1995, an investor purchasing Class "C" Shares agrees to
pay a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1% if
Class "C" Shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
Prior to the offering of Class "A" and Class "C" Shares, the
shares outstanding were renamed Class "R" and are not subject
to any 12b-1 distribution or service fees. Effective with the
offering of the new classes, Class "R" Shares will generally
be available only for reinvestment of dividends by current
"R" shareholders and for already established Nuveen Unit
Investment Trust reinvestment accounts.
Derivative Financial Instruments
In October 1994, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
119 Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and
Fair Value of Financial Instruments which prescribes
disclosure requirements for transactions in certain
derivative financial instruments including futures, forward,
swap, and option contracts, and other financial instruments
with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are
authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and may
do so in the future, they did not make any such investments
during the six months ended August 31, 1995, other than
occasional purchases of high quality synthetic money market
securities which were held temporarily pending the re-
investment in long-term portfolio securities.

2. EXPENSE ALLOCATION
Expenses of the Funds that are not directly attributable to
any class of shares are prorated among the classes based on
the relative net assets of each class. Expenses directly
attributable to a class of shares are recorded to the
specific class. Effective August 1, 1995, the Funds adopted a
multiple class plan pursuant to Rule 18f-3 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and now designate class
specific expenses to include Rule 12b-1 distribution and
service fees, and other expenses incurred for services
received by a class that differ in either amount or kind. A
breakdown of the class specific expenses for the six months
ended August 31, 1995, are as follows:

The management fee is reduced by, or the Adviser assumes
certain expenses of each Fund, in an amount necessary to
prevent the total expenses of each Fund (including the
management fee, but excluding interest, taxes, fees incurred
in acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, 12b-1
Service and Distribution fees, and to the extent permitted,
extraordinary expenses) in any fiscal year from exceeding .75
of 1% of the average daily net asset value of the California,
Massachusetts, New York and Ohio Tax-Free Value Funds and
.975 of 1% of the average daily net asset value of the
California Insured, Massachusetts Insured and New York
Insured Tax-Free Value Funds. The Adviser may also
voluntarily agree to reimburse additional expenses from time
to time, which may be voluntarily terminated at any time at
its discretion.
The management fee referred to above compensates the Adviser
for overall investment advisory and administrative services,
and general office facilities. The Funds pays no compensation
directly to their Directors who are affiliated with the
Adviser or to their officers, all of whom receive
remuneration for their services to the Funds from the
Adviser.

Certain long-term and intermediate-term investments owned by
the Funds are covered by insurance issued by several private
insurers or are backed by an escrow or trust containing U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities, either of
which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest in
the event of default (35% for California, 100% for California
Insured, 37% for Massachusetts, 100% for Massachusetts
Insured, 15% for New York, 100% for New York Insured and 59%
for Ohio). Such insurance, however, does not guarantee the
market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
Funds' shares.
All of the temporary investments in short-term municipal
securities have credit enhancements (letters of credit,
guarantees or insurance) issued by third party domestic or
foreign banks or other institutions.
For additional information regarding each investment
security, refer to the Portfolio of Investments of each Fund.
