Mr. John Costello, Assistant Treasurer
Fidelity New York Municipal Trust II (the trust):
Fidelity New York Municipal Money Market Fund
Spartan New York Municipal Money Market Fund (the funds)
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 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 13, 1997, 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 2.06, 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.
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 as determined by the Trustees or
issue fractional shares.
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 understand from you that, pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, the trust has registered an
indefinite amount 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 2,890,131,150 shares of the trust (the "Shares") sold
in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended January 31,
1997.
I am of the opinion that all necessary trust action precedent to the
issue of Shares has been duly taken, and that all the Shares were
legally and validly issued, and are fully paid and nonassessable
under Delaware law, subject to the possibility that a court might not
apply such law as described in the funds' Statements of Additional
Information under the heading "Shareholder and Trustee Liability -
Delaware Trust." In rendering this opinion, I rely on the
representation by the trust that it or its agents received
consideration for the Shares in accordance with the Trust
Instrument and 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 securities laws in connection with
sales 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 Instru-
ment 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"), as amended by a certificate of
amendment thereto as filed in the Recording Office on November 20,
1995; 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 and all applicable
resolutions of the Trustees 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 or Section 11.05 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 organized under the
general corporation law of the State of Delaware; 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 wish to 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,
/s/MORRIS, NICHOLS, ARSHT & TUNNELL
