Mr. John Costello, Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity New York Municipal Trust II (the Trust):
Fidelity New York Tax-Free Money Market Portfolio (the Fund)
82 Devonshire Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02109
Dear Mr. Costello:
Fidelity New York Municipal Trust II is a Delaware business trust
created under a written Trust Instrument dated June 20, 1991.
I understand from you that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust has registered an
indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest under the
Securities Act of 1933. I further understand that, pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 24f-2, the Trust intends to file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission a Notice making definite the
registration of 1,171,811,206 shares of the Trust (the "Shares")
sold in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended
January 31, 1994.
I am of the opinion that all legal requirements have been complied
with in the creation of the Trust and that said Trust is a duly
authorized and validly existing business trust under the laws of the
State of Delaware. In this regard, I have relied on the opinion of
Delaware counsel, Morris, Nichols, Arsht & Tunnell, contained in
a letter dated March 16, 1994 with respect to matters of Delaware
law.
I have conducted such legal and factual inquiry as I have deemed
necessary for the purpose of rendering this opinion.
Capitalized terms used herein, and not otherwise herein defined,
are used as defined in the Trust Instrument.
Under Article II, Section 2.01, of the Trust Instrument, the
beneficial interest in the Trust shall be divided into such
transferable Shares of one or more separate and distinct Series or
classes of a Series as the Trustees shall from time to time create
and establish. The number of Shares of each Series, and class
thereof, authorized thereunder is unlimited and each Share shall be
without par value and shall be fully paid and nonassessable.
Under Article II, Section 2.07, the Trustees are empowered to
accept investments in the Trust in cash or securities from such
persons and on such terms as they may from time to time
authorize. Such investments in the Trust, shall be credited to each
Shareholder's account in the form of full Shares at the Net Asset
Value per Share next determined after the investment is received;
provided, however, that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion,
fix the initial Net Asset Value per share of the initial capital
contribution, impose a sales charge upon investments in the Trust
in such manner and at such time determined by the Trustees, or
issue fractional shares.
Under Article II, Section 2.08, the Trust shall consist of one or
more Series and the Trustees of each Series shall have full power
and authority, in their sole discretion, and without obtaining any
prior authorization or vote of the Shareholders of any Series of the
Trust to establish and designate (and to change in any manner) any
such Series of Shares with such preferences, voting powers, rights
and privileges as the Trustees may from time to time determine, to
divide or combine the Shares into a greater or lesser number, to
classify or reclassify any issued Shares of any Series, and to take
such other action with respect to the Shares as the Trustees may
deem desirable.
By a vote adopted on June 20, 1991, the Board of Trustees
authorized the issue and sale, from time to time, of an unlimited
number of shares of beneficial interest of this Fund in accordance
with the terms included in the then current Registration Statement
and subject to the limitations of the Trust Instrument and any
amendments thereto.
I am of the opinion that all necessary Trust action precedent to the
issue of the Shares has been duly taken, and that all the Shares
were legally and validly issued, and are fully paid and
nonassessable under Delaware law, except as described in the
Fund's Statement of Additional Information under the heading
"Description of the Trusts." In rendering this opinion, I rely on
the representation by the Trust that it or its agent received
consideration for the Shares in accordance with the Trust
Instrument. I express no opinion as to compliance with the
Securities Act of 1933, the Investment Company Act of 1940, or
applicable state "Blue Sky" or state securities laws in connection
with the sale of the Shares.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in connection with a Rule 24f-2 Notice
which you are about to file under the 1940 Act with said
commission.
Very truly yours,
/s/Arthur S. Loring

Re: Fidelity New York Municipal Trust II
Dear Mr. Loring:
We have acted as special Delaware counsel to Fidelity New York
Municipal Trust II, a Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), in
connection with certain matters relating to the organization of the
Trust and the issuance of Shares therein. Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise herein defined are used as defined in the
Trust Instrument of the Trust dated June 20, 1991 (the "Governing
Instrument").
In rendering this opinion, we have examined copies of the
following documents, each in the form provided to us: the
Certificate of Trust of the Trust dated as of June 20, 1991 and filed
in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the
"Recording Office") on July 9, 1991 (the "Certificate"); the
Governing Instrument; the Bylaws of the Trust; minutes of a
meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, dated June 20, 1991;
a Certificate of Secretary of the Trust, certifying as to the
acceptance by certain persons of their positions as trustees of the
Trust; a Form N-8A relating to the Trust as filed with the
Commission on August 23, 1991; and a certification of good
standing of the Trust obtained as of a recent date from the
Recording Office. In such examinations, we have assumed the
genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to original documents
of all documents submitted to us as copies or drafts of documents
to be executed, and the legal capacity of natural persons to
complete the execution of documents. We have further assumed
for the purpose of this opinion: (i) the due authorization, execution
and delivery by, or on behalf of, each of the parties thereto of the
above-referenced instruments, certificates and other documents,
and of all documents contemplated by the Governing Instrument
and applicable resolutions of the Trustees to be executed by
investors desiring to become Shareholders; (ii) the payment of
consideration for Shares, and the application of such consideration,
as provided in the Governing Instrument, and compliance with the
other terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Governing
Instrument in connection with the issuance of Shares (including,
without limitation, the taking of all appropriate action by the
Trustees to designate Series of Shares and the rights and
preferences attributable thereto as contemplated by the Governing
Instrument); (iii) that appropriate notation of the names and
addresses of, the number of Shares held by, and the consideration
paid by, Shareholders will be maintained in the appropriate
registers and other books and records of the Trust in connection
with the issuance or transfer of Shares; (iv) that no event has
occurred subsequent to the filing of the Certificate that would cause
a termination or dissolution of the Trust under Section 11.04 of the
Governing Instrument; (v) that the activities of the Trust have been
and will be conducted in accordance with the terms of the
Governing Instrument and the Delaware Act; and (vi) that each of
the documents examined by us is in full force and effect and has
not been modified, supplemented or otherwise amended. No
opinion is expressed herein with respect to the requirements of, or
compliance with, federal or state securities or blue sky laws.
Further, we have not reviewed and express no opinion on the
sufficiency or accuracy of any registration or offering
documentation relating to the Trust or the Shares. As to any facts
material to our opinion, other than those assumed, we have relied
without independent investigation on the above-referenced
documents and on the accuracy, as of the date hereof, of the
matters therein contained.
Based on and subject to the foregoing, and limited in all respects to
matters of Delaware law, it is our opinion that:
1. The Trust is a duly organized and validly existing business
trust in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
2. The Shares, when issued to Shareholders in accordance with
the terms, conditions, requirements and procedures set forth in the
Governing Instrument, will constitute legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable Shares of beneficial interest in the Trust.
3. Under the Delaware Act and the terms of the Governing
Instrument, each Shareholder of the Trust, in such capacity, will be
entitled to the same limitation of personal liability as that extended
to stockholders of private corporations for profit; provided,
however, that we express no opinion with respect to the liability of
any Shareholder who is, was or may become a named Trustee of
the Trust. Neither the existence nor exercise of the voting rights
granted to Shareholders under the Governing Instrument will, of
itself, cause a Shareholder to be deemed a trustee of the Trust
under the Delaware Act.
We understand that you may rely as to matters of Delaware law on
the opinion set forth above in connection with the rendering by you
of an opinion to be used as an Exhibit to a Rule 24f-2 filing to be
made by the Trust with the Commission, and we hereby consent to
such reliance. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, the
opinion set forth above is expressed solely for the benefit of the
addressee hereof and may not be relied upon by any other person
or entity for any purpose without our prior written consent.
Sincerely,
MORRIS, NICHOLS, ARSHT & TUNNELL
