Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Florida Daily Municipal Income Fund (the "Fund") in
connection with the preparation of the Rule 24f-2 Notice (the "Notice") covering
239,648,625.19 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Fund.
We have examined copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of
the Fund, the Registration Statement, and such other corporate records and
documents, including the consent of the Board of Directors and the minutes of
the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Fund, as we have deemed necessary
for the purpose of this opinion. We have also examined such other documents,
papers, statutes and authorities as we deemed necessary to form a basis for the
opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examination of such material, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to original
documents of fact material to such opinion, and we have relied upon statements
and certificates of officers and representatives of the Fund and others.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the 239,648,625.19
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share of the Fund, the registration
of which the Notice makes definitive, were legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Rule
24f-2 Notice.
Very truly yours,
BATTLE FOWLER LLP
