Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion for use in conjunction
with a Rule 24f-2 Notice for Liberty Utility Fund, Inc.
("Fund") to be filed in respect of shares of the Fund
("Shares") sold for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1994,
pursuant to the Fund's registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the
Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-13388) ("Registration
Statement").
In its Registration Statement, the Fund elected to
register an indefinite number of Shares pursuant to the
provisions of SEC Rule 24f-2.
We have reviewed the amended Registration Statement of
the Fund and such other documents and records deemed
relevant. On the basis of the foregoing, it is our opinion
that the Shares sold for the fiscal year ended February 28,
1994, registration of which the Rule 24f-2 Notice makes
definite in number, were legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
We consent to your filing this opinion as an Exhibit to
the Rule 24f-2 Notice referred to above, the Registration
Statement of the Fund and to any application or registration
statement filed under the Securities Laws of any of the
States of the United States.
Very truly yours,
Houston, Houston & Donnelly
