actual aggregate redemption price of securities of the same class redeemed
by the Registrant was $10,647,336. No portion of such aggregate redemption
price has been applied by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 24e-2(a) in a

RE: Rule 24f-2 Notice
Gentlemen:
In connection with the filing by Smith Barney Florida Municipals
Fund, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Fund"), of a Notice (the
"Notice") pursuant Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"), for the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31,
1994, you have requested that the undersigned provide the legal opinion
required by that Rule.
In accordance with Rule 24f-2, the Fund has registered an indefinite
number of shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value, under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The purpose of the Notice is to make
definite the registration of 1,645,513 shares of the Fund (the "Shares")
sold in reliance upon the Rule during the fiscal period ended October
31,1994.
The undersigned is Deputy General Counsel and Vice President of The
Boston Company Advisors, Inc., the Fund's sub-administrator, and in such
capacity, from time to time and for certain purposes, acts as counsel to
the Fund. I have examined copies of the Fund's Master Trust Agreement, its
By-Laws, votes adopted by its Board of Trustees, and such other records and
documents as I have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion.
Furthermore, I have examined a Certificate of the Assistant Treasurer of
the Fund to the effect that the Fund received the cash consideration for
each of the Shares in accordance with the aforementioned trust documents
and votes.

On the basis of the foregoing, and assuming all of the Shares were
sold in accordance with the terms of the Fund's Prospectus in effect at the
time of sale, I am of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized
and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. This opinion is
for the limited purposes expressed above and should not be deemed to be an
expression of opinion as to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the 1940 Act or applicable State "blue sky" laws in connection
with the sales of the Shares.
The Fund is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under
certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the
Fund. However, the Fund's Master Trust Agreement provides that if a
shareholder of the Fund is charged or held personally liable solely by
reason of being or having been a shareholder, the shareholder shall be
entitled out of the assets of the Fund to be held harmless from and
indemnified against all loss and expense arising from such liability.
Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of
shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the Fund itself
would be unable to meet its obligations.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Christine C. Carsman
Christine C. Carsman
Deputy General Counsel and
Vice President of The
Boston Company Advisors,
Inc.
