Gentlemen:
You have requested our opinion for use in conjunction with a Rule 24f-2
Notice for Federated Municipal Trust ("Trust") to be filed in respect of
shares of the Trust ("Shares") sold for the fiscal year ended October 31,
1994, pursuant to the Trust's registration statement filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-
31259) ("Registration Statement").
In its Registration Statement, the Trust 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 Trust 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
October 31, 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 Trust 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
