DREYFUS PENNSYLVANIA INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to provide you with this report on the Dreyfus
Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund. For the 12-month reporting
period ended November 30, 1997, your Fund produced a total return, including
share price changes and dividend income, of 6.67%.* The Fund's tax-free
distribution rate per share for the reporting period was 4.45%.**
Economic Review
Almost everything went right for the U.S. economy over the reporting
period. In its seventh year of expansion, the economy showed no sign of an
upsurge in inflation resulting from tightening labor markets. With the
unemployment rate at its lowest level in almost a decade, investors had been
concerned that wage gains might result in higher levels of inflation and
cause the Federal Reserve Board (the "Fed") to again raise interest rates.
Given the longevity of our economic recovery, the Fed's monetary policymakers
apparently were hoping that a cyclical easing in the economic growth rate
would help dampen any incipient inflationary pressure. Recent turmoil in the
financial markets of Asia and Latin America has raised prospects for a
slowdown in U.S. exports as those nations shore up their financial systems.
If this were to occur, the diminished demand for U.S. goods overseas could be
a drag on domestic economic growth. What is all but certain is that the Fed
is reluctant to further unsettle world financial markets by raising interest
rates over the near term.
Indicators of future economic conditions showed high levels of consumer
optimism and pointed toward continued growth. Consumers' spirits have been
lifted by an unemployment rate at a quarter-century low (4.7% at the end of
the reporting period), and core inflation, which excludes food and energy
price changes, at the 2% level. The Conference Board, a business-sponsored
research group, recently reported that its Consumer Confidence Index hit a
new high for this economic expansion. Since consumers account for two thirds
of all economic activity, their confidence in the economy is an important
indicator of future conditions. Another important index of future economic
conditions, the Index of Leading Economic Indicators (also a Conference Board
index), implied continued growth. Government reports of personal income and
consumer spending showed healthy rates of increase as well.
The production side of the economy continued its robust advance.
Industrial output rose consistently, and while the factory utilization rate
(a potential harbinger of production bottlenecks and price pressures) also
increased, there was little evidence of producer-generated inflation.
Additional good news regarding inflation came from the report that the
productivity of U.S. workers rose at its fastest pace in five years during
the third quarter of 1997. This increase in worker efficiency helped push down
unit labor costs and eased concerns that labor costs, despite the tight
labor market, would lead to higher inflation.
The interplay between worker productivity and worker wage increases does
much in determining the future course of inflation. We continue to monitor
that closely, along with developments in the international financial arena.
The recent international turbulence underscored the close economic
relationships that exist among all countries, particularly in this age of
multinational companies and pervasive global capitalism.
Market Environment
The supply of new issues in Pennsylvania having intermediate maturities
has been rather modest over the last year, but whenever a small issue has
been attractively priced, the Fund has participated. On the other hand,
because demand has remained strong due to low secondary supply, the Fund has
been able to slowly sell bonds which had achieved our price goals. When the
municipal bond market becomes weak, the secondary supply of intermediate
Pennsylvania issues usually increases because national intermediate bond
funds will sell Pennsylvania issues when they need to raise cash. While
demand exceeds supply, national funds will try to dispose of Pennsylvania
issues. If the market continues to decline, supply
will quickly exceed demand and the Fund would then be able to purchase bonds
at attractive levels. The Fund intends to continue to purchase both primary
and secondary issues that represent value when they become available.
Intermediate municipals are currently very cheap when compared to the
ten-year U.S. Government note market. Supply normally declines as we approach
the end of the year, while demand should increase because of heavy interest
payments and bond maturities on January 1, 1998.
Portfolio Overview
Interest rates were fairly low in late 1996 and early 1997, so the Fund
maintained a defensive posture and purchased premium bonds which were
expected to perform well in a declining market. In the spring of 1997, when
interest rates rose, the Fund reversed its strategy and purchased deep
discount securities with short calls and higher yields. These bonds
represented excellent value because they were out of favor with many
institutional fund managers, and were purchased at a substantial discount
when compared to the rest of the municipal market. By June of 1997, interest
rates had fallen and the Fund's strategy reverted back to buying bonds at a
moderate premium. This strategy has remained in place with the exception of
an occasional purchase of a deep discount with an attractive yield.
The Fund is constantly selling bonds priced at modest discounts which
have achieved our price objective and are yielding a low return. Certain
types of investors tend to favor this type of bond, so the Fund can
frequently take advantage of this situation.
Lower rated issues remain very expensive when compared to higher rated
securities. The Fund continues to take advantage of this tight spread
relationship by favoring higher rated securities which are traditionally more
liquid. This strategy will give the Fund more flexibility to react to a weak
market which can experience liquidity constraints.
The Fund had a one-year total return on November 30, 1997 of 6.67%, which
compares favorably to the Lipper Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond
Category average of 5.56%. Because the Fund positioned itself defensively in
late 1996 when interest rates were low, it was able to take advantage of the
declining market that occurred in the spring of 1997 by purchasing issues
which were undervalued.
Included in this report is a series of detailed statements about your
Fund's holdings and its financial condition. We hope they are informative.
Please know that we appreciate greatly your continued confidence in the Fund
and in The Dreyfus Corporation.
Very truly yours,

Past performance is not predictive of future performance.
The above graph compares a $10,000 investment made in Dreyfus Pennsylvania
Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund on 12/16/93 (Inception Date) to a $10,000
investment made in the Lehman Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index on that
date. For comparative purposes, the value of the Index on 12/31/93 is used as
the beginning value on 12/16/93. All dividends and capital gain distributions
are reinvested.
The Fund invests primarily in Pennsylvania municipal securities and maintains
a portfolio with a weighted-average maturity ranging between 3 and 10 years.
The Fund's performance shown in the line graph takes into account fees and
expenses. Unlike the Fund, the Lehman Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index
is an unmanaged total return performance benchmark for the investment-grade,
geographically unrestricted 10-year tax exempt bond market, consisting of
municipal bonds with maturities of 9-12 years. The Index does not take into
account charges, fees and other expenses and is not limited to investments
principally in Pennsylvania municipal obligations. These factors, coupled
with the potentially longer maturity of the Index, can contribute to the
Index potentially outperforming the Fund. Further information relating to
Fund performance, including expense reimbursements, if applicable, is
contained in the Financial Highlights section of the Prospectus and elsewhere
in this report.

DREYFUS PENNSYLVANIA INTERMEDIATE MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Dreyfus Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Act") as a
non-diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment
objective is to provide investors with as high a level of current income
exempt from Federal and Pennsylvania income taxes as is consistent with the
preservation of capital. The Dreyfus Corporation ("Manager") serves as the
Fund's investment adviser. The Manager is a direct subsidiary of Mellon Bank,
N.A. Premier Mutual Fund Services, Inc. is the distributor of the Fund's
shares, which are sold to the public without a sales charge.
The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which may require the use of management
estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(a) Portfolio valuation: Investments in securities (excluding options and
financial futures on municipal and U.S. treasury securities) are valued each
business day by an independent pricing service ("Service") approved by the
Board of Trustees. Investments for which quoted bid prices are readily
available and are representative of the bid side of the market in the
judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between the quoted bid prices
(as obtained by the Service from dealers in such securities) and asked prices
(as calculated by the Service based upon its evaluation of the market for
such securities). Other investments (which constitute a majority of the
portfolio securities) are carried at fair value as determined by the Service,
based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of
municipal securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type;
indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. Options
and financial futures on municipal and U.S. treasury securities are valued at
the last sales price on the securities exchange on which such securities are
primarily traded or at the last sales price on the national securities market
on each business day. Investments not listed on an exchange or the national
securities market, or securities for which there were no transactions, are
valued at the average of the most recent bid and asked prices. Bid price is
used when no asked price is available.
(b) Securities transactions and investment income: Securities
transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss from
securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest
income, adjusted for amortization of premiums and original issue discounts on
investments, is earned from settlement date and recognized on the accrual
basis. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery
basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.
The Fund follows an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal
obligations of one state. Economic changes affecting the state and certain of
its public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within
the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations
held by the Fund.
(c) Dividends to shareholders: It is the policy of the Fund to declare
dividends daily from investment income-net. Such dividends are paid monthly.
Dividends from net realized capital gain are normally declared and paid
annually, but the Fund may make distributions on a more frequent basis to
comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. To
the extent that net realized capital gain can be offset by capital loss
carryovers, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gain.
(d) Federal income taxes: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to
qualify as a regulated investment company, which can distribute tax exempt
dividends, by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code, and to make distributions of income and net realized capital
gain sufficient to relieve it from substantially all Federal income and
excise taxes.

NOTE 2-BANK LINE OF CREDIT:
The fund participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $600 million
redemption credit facility ("Facility") to be utilized for temporary or
emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection
therewith, the Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion
of the Facility. Interest is charged to the Fund at rates based on prevailing

(a) Pursuant to a management agreement with the Manager, the management

from December 1, 1996 through November 30, 1997 to reduce the management fee
paid by the Fund, to the extent that the Fund's aggregate annual expenses
(exclusive of taxes, brokerage, interest on borrowings, commitment fees and
extraordinary expenses) exceed an annual rate of .80 of 1% of the value of
the Fund's average daily net assets. The reduction in management fee,
pursuant to the undertaking amounted to $74,475 during the period ended

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, the Fund reimburses Dreyfus
Service Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager, an amount not
to exceed an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the Fund's average
daily net assets for certain allocated expenses of providing personal
services and/or maintaining shareholders accounts. The services provided may
include personal services relating to shareholder accounts, such as answering
shareholder inquiries regarding the Fund and providing reports and other
information, and services related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts.
During the period ended November 30, 1997, the Fund was charged $41,582
pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan.
The Fund compensates Dreyfus Transfer, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Manager, under a transfer agency agreement for providing personnel and
facilities to perform transfer agency services for the Fund. During the
period ended November 30, 1997, the Fund was charged $33,239 pursuant to the
transfer agency agreement.
(c) Each trustee who is not an "affiliated person" as defined in the Act
receives from the Fund an annual fee of $1,000 and an attendance fee of $250
per meeting. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional 25% of such
compensation.
(d) A 1% redemption fee is charged and retained by the Fund on certain
redemptions of Fund shares (including redemptions through use of the Fund
Exchanges service) where the shares being redeemed were issued subsequent to
a specified effective date and the redemption or exchange occurs less than
fifteen days following the date of issuance. During the period ended November
30, 1997, redemption fees amounted to $39.
NOTE 4-SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
The aggregate amount of purchases and sales of investment securities,
excluding short-term securities, during the period ended November 30, 1997
amounted to $26,773,806 and $13,234,291, respectively.

investments was $2,619,916, consisting of $2,635,564 gross unrealized
appreciation and $15,648 gross unrealized depreciation.
At November 30, 1997, the cost of investments for Federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as the cost for financial reporting
purposes (see the Statement of Investments).
