MUNICIPAL HIGH INCOME FUND INC.
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide the semi-annual report for Municipal High
Income Fund Inc. for the six months ended April 30, 1995. Over the past three
months, the Fund paid dividends totaling $0.1620 per share, equivalent to
an annualized rate of 6.98% based on the Fund's April 30, 1995 net asset
value of $9.28 per share and 7.20% based on the New York Stock Exchange
closing price on that date of $9.00.
MARKET AND PORTFOLIO UPDATE
Following the direction of the Treasury securities market, the
tax-exempt market has had virtually a non-stop rally since the beginning
of the year and has recovered the losses of 1994. This increase in the
prices of fixed income securities resulted from the Federal Reserve's
seemingly successful policies to slow economic growth and achieve a soft
landing for the economy. A decline of approximately 40% in new bond
issuance, while at the same time, older higher interest rate debt
continued to be called and mature at a record pace, also
helped strengthen the tax-exempt market. We expect this supply-demand
imbalance will continue over the next six months and contribute to
greater market stability. However, recent calls by the House and Senate
for tax reform have added a somewhat negative tone and uncertainty to the
tax-exempt market. The 17% flat tax proposal which has received the most
press would result in increased borrowing costs for state and local
governments, and also reduce the value of home mortgage and charitable
deductions. Although some form of tax reform is necessary, we think it
is too early in the legislative process to accurately predict what kind
of reform will actually be enacted. From our perspective it appears
likely that the current yield range of 6 3/4 to 7% on long-term
Treasuries and 5 3/4% on AAA-rated municipals will be sustained.
During the past reporting period the Fund continued to be invested
in long-term tax-exempt issues in order to offer investors a high
level of tax-exempt income. At the end of April 1995, 55% of the Fund was
invested in securities rated as investment grade by either Standard & Poor's
Corporation or Moody's Investors Service. The majority of its holdings were
in industrial development revenue, hospital, and pollution control revenue
bonds. Other large holdings for the Fund were housing, utility and
transportation issues. The Fund's average maturity at the end of April was
20.8 years.
We are pleased to report that the Fund continues to receive a four-star
(out of a possible five) rating by Morningstar, Inc., a widely-recognized
mutual fund evaluation organization. The May 1995 issue of THE CLOSED-END
FUND DIGEST also recommends the Fund as a "Buy." We are pleased with this
recognition and will endeavor to maintain this performance record. We
appreciate your continued confidence and support, and look

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Municipal High Income Fund Inc. (the "Fund") was organized as a
corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland on March 4, 1988 and is
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a diversified,
closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended. The policies described below are followed
consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
PORTFOLIO VALUATION: Investments are valued by The Boston Company
Advisors, Inc. ("Boston Advisors") after consultation with an independent
pricing service (the "Service") approved by the Board of Directors. When, in
the judgment of the Service, quoted bid prices for investments are
readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market,
these investments are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices and
asked prices. Investments for which, in the judgment of the Service, no
readily obtainable market quotations are available, are carried at fair
value as determined by the Service or by the Fund's Board of Directors.
The Service may use electronic data processing techniques and/ or a
matrix system to determine valuations. Short-term investments that
mature in fewer than 60 days are valued at amortized cost.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions
are recorded as of the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a
when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after
trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on
the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on the accrual
basis.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: It is the policy of the
Fund to make monthly distributions of substantially all of its net investment
income to shareholders. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be
distributed to shareholders at least once a year. In addition, in
order to avoid the application of a 4% nondeductible excise tax on certain
undistributed amounts of ordinary income and capital gains, the Fund may make
an additional distribution shortly before December 31 in each year of any
undistributed ordinary income or capital gains and expects to make any other
distributions as are necessary to avoid the application of this tax. To the
extent that net realized capital gains can be offset by capital losses and
loss carryforwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such
gains. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are
determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from
generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily
due to timing differences and differing characterization of
distributions made by the Fund as a whole.

- ------------
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a
regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best
interest of its shareholders, by complying with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated
investment companies and by distributing substantially all of its
earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is
required.
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE, ADMINISTRATION FEE AND OTHER
TRANSACTIONS
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the
"Advisory Agreement") with Greenwich Street Advisors, a division of
Mutual Management Corp., which has been transferred effective November 7,
1994, to Smith Barney Mutual Funds Management Inc. ("SBMFM") (formerly
known as "Smith, Barney Advisers, Inc."). Mutual Management Corp. and
SBMFM are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Smith Barney Holdings Inc.
("Holdings"). Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Travelers Inc.
Under the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays a monthly fee at the annual
rate of 0.40% of the value of its average monthly net assets.
The Fund is party to an administration agreement
("Administration Agreement") with SBMFM. Under the Administration Agreement,
the Fund pays a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.20% of the value of its
average monthly net assets.
The Fund and SBMFM have also entered into a sub-administration
agreement (the "Sub-Administration Agreement") with Boston Advisors, an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank Corporation
("Mellon"). Under the Sub-Administration Agreement, SBMFM pays Boston
Advisors a portion of its administration fee at a rate agreed upon from
time to time between SBMFM and Boston Advisors.
No officer, director, or employee of Smith Barney Inc.("Smith Barney") or
of any of its affiliates receives any compensation from the Fund for serving
as a Director or officer of the Fund. The Fund pays each Director, who
is not an officer, director or employee of Smith Barney or any of its
affiliates, $5,000 per annum plus $500 per meeting attended and reimburses
each such Director for travel and out-of-pocket expenses.
Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of Mellon, serves as the Fund's custodian. The Shareholder Services
Group, Inc., a subsidiary of First Data Corporation, serves as the Fund's
transfer agent.
3. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
For the six months ended April 30, 1995, cost of purchases and proceeds
from sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments,
aggregated $17,574,409 and $15,264,669, respectively.

amounted to $7,826,059, and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all
securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value amounted to
$6,054,921.
4. FUND SHARES
At April 30, 1995, 500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par
value of $.01 per share were authorized.

5. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT
The Fund invests in securities offering high current income which
generally will be in the lower rating categories of recognized rating
agencies. These securities generally involve more credit risk than
securities in the higher rating categories. In addition, the trading market
for high yield securities may be relatively less liquid than the market for
higher-rated securities.
6. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD
At October 31, 1994, the Fund had available for Federal income tax
purposes an unused capital loss carryforward of $2,666,650 expiring in 2002.
