Gentlemen:

            We have acted as special counsel to Reich & Tang Distributors L.P.
and Gruntal & Co., Incorporated as Depositors, Sponsors and Principal
Underwriters (collectively, the "Depositors") of Insured Municipal Securities
Trust, Series 22 and New York Navigator Insured Series 1 (the "Trust") in
connection with the preparation by the Trust of a Rule 24f-2 Notice (the "Rule
24f-2 Notice") covering the registration of units of fractional undivided
interest (the "Units") in the Trust.

            In connection with our representation, we have examined copies of
the following documents relating to the creation of the Trust and the issuance
and sale of the Units: (a) the Reference Trust Agreement dated January 18,
1990 (the "Trust Agreement") among the Depositors, The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., as Trustee, and Kenny S&P Evaluation Services, a division of J.J. Kenny
Co., Inc., as Evaluator; (b) the Notification of Registration on Form N-8A and
the Registration Statement on Form N-8B-2, as amended, relating to the Trust,
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"); (c) the
Registration Statement on Form S-6 (File No. 33-29467) filed with the
Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") and
Amendment No. 1 thereto (said Registration Statement, as amended by said
Amendment No. 1, being herein called the "Registration Statement") and all
subsequent Post-

343325.1

                                                                               2



Effective Amendments to the Registration Statement as filed with the
Commission; (d) the form of final Prospectus (the "Prospectus") relating to
the Units, as filed with the Commission; (e) certified resolutions of the
Executive Committee of each of the Depositors authorizing the execution and
delivery by the Depositors of the Trust Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby; and (f) the Certificates of Incorporation
and By-Laws, as amended to date, of each of the Depositors, each certified to
by an authorized officer of each of the Depositors as of a recent date.

            We have also examined the Application for an Order of Exemption
from certain provisions of Sections 11(a) and 11(c) of the 1940 Act, which has
been filed with the Commission by the Depositor and Gruntal & Co.,
Incorporated; Equity Securities Trust (Series 1, Signature Series, Gabelli
Communications Income Trust and Subsequent Series), Mortgage Securities Trust
(CMO Series 1 and Subsequent Series), Municipal Securities Trust, Series 1
(and Subsequent Series (including Insured Municipal Securities Trust, Series 1
(and Subsequent Series and 5th Discount Series and Subsequent Series)); New
York Municipal Trust, Series 1 and Subsequent Series); and A Corporate Trust,
Series 1 (and Subsequent Series) on November 12, 1992 and as amended
thereafter and the related Exemptive Order (IC- 20729) issued by the
Commission on November 22, 1994.

            In rendering this opinion we have assumed the genuineness of all
signatures, the authenticity and completeness of all documents, certificates
and instruments submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the
originals of all documents, certificates and instruments submitted to us as
copies and the legal capacity to sign of all individuals executing such
documents, certificates and instruments.

            We have assumed that each party has duly authorized, executed and
delivered each of the Trust Agreements, Registration Statement and other
instruments, certificates, agreements, documents executed in connection with
the transactions contemplated thereby (collectively "UIT Documents") to which
it is a party.

            We have assumed that each party is duly qualified and has full
power and authority to perform its obligations under the UIT Documents and the
transactions contemplated by the UIT Documents.

            We have assumed that each party complied with all orders, rules,
regulations applicable to it or in connection with the UIT Documents or the
transactions contemplated thereby. We have further assumed that no party to
the transaction contemplated by the UIT Documents is subject to any statute,
rule or regulation, or to any impediment to which contracting parties are not
generally subject, which requires such party to obtain the authorization or
consent of,

                                                                               3



or to register or make a declaration or filing with, or inquiry of any
governmental agency or regulatory authority.

            Based on such examination and assumptions, we are of the opinion
that the Units, the registration of which this Notice makes definitive, when
sold by the Depositor and purchased and paid for by the Unitholder, duly
executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Trust Agreement
and the Registration Statement relating to such Units, the Units were (i)
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (iii) legal, valid and
binding obligations of the Trust, and the holders of the Units are entitled to
the benefits of the related Trust Agreement, except as enforcement thereof may
be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity
regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law.

            We are not admitted to the practice of law in any jurisdiction but
the State of New York and we do not hold ourselves out as experts in or
express any opinion as to the laws of other states or jurisdictions except as
to matters of Federal and Delaware corporate law.

            We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to
the Rule 24f-2 Notice.


                                    Very truly yours,



                                    BATTLE FOWLER LLP
