Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to Reich & Tang Distributors
L.P. and Gruntal & Co., Incorporated as Depositors, Sponsors and Principal
Underwriters (collectively, the "Depositors") of Insured Municipal Securities
Trust, Series 33, New York Navigator Insured Series 17 and New Jersey Navigator
Insured Series 13 and Municipal Securities Trust, Mutli-State Series 46 (the
"Trust") in connection with the preparation by the Trust of a Rule 24f-2 Notice
(the "Rule 24f-2 Notice") covering the registration of units of fractional
undivided interest (the "Units") in the Trust.
In connection with our representation, we have examined copies
of the following documents relating to the creation of the Trust and the
issuance and sale of the Units: (a) the Reference Trust Agreement dated April 6,
1995 (the "Trust Agreement") among the Depositors, The Chase Manhattan Bank, as
Trustee, and Kenny S&P Evaluation Services, a business unit of J.J. Kenny
Company, Inc., as Evaluator; (b) the Notification of Registration on Form N-8A
and the Registration Statement on Form N-8B-2, as amended, relating to the
Trust, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"); (c) the
Registration Statement on Form S-6 (File No. 33-58167) filed with the Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") and Amendment No. 1
thereto (said Registration Statement, as amended by said Amendment No. 1, being
168096.1

herein called the "Registration Statement") and all subsequent Post-Effective
Amendments to the Registration Statement as filed with the Commission; (d) the
form of final Prospectus (the "Prospectus") relating to the Units, as filed with
the Commission; (e) certified resolutions of the Executive Committee of each of
the Depositors authorizing the execution and delivery by the Depositors of the
Trust Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby;
and (f) the Certificates of Incorporation and By-Laws, as amended to date, of
each of the Depositors, each certified to by an authorized officer of each of
the Depositors as of a recent date.
We have also examined the Application for Orders of Exemption
from certain provisions of Sections 14(a) and 22(d) of the 1940 Act and Rules
19b-1 and 22c-1 thereunder, and the First Amendment thereto. In addition, we
have examined the Order of Exemption from certain provisions of Sections 11(a)
and 11(c) of the 1940 Act, filed on behalf of Reich & Tang Distributors L.P. and
Gruntal & Co.; Equity Securities Trust (Series 1, Signature Series and
Subsequent Series), Mortgage Securities Trust (CMO Series 1 and Subsequent
Series), Municipal Securities Trust, Series 1 (and Subsequent Series) (including
Insured Municipal Securities Trust, Series 1 (and Subsequent Series and 5th
Discount Series and Subsequent Series)); New York Municipal Trust (Series 1 and
Subsequent Series); and A Corporate Trust (Series 1 and Subsequent Series)
granted on October 9, 1996.
In rendering this opinion we have assumed the genuineness of
all signatures, the authenticity and completeness of all documents, certificates
and instruments submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals
of all documents, certificates and instruments submitted to us as copies and the
legal capacity to sign of all individuals executing such documents, certificates
and instruments.
We have assumed that each party has duly authorized, executed
and delivered each of the Trust Agreements, Registration Statement and other
instruments, certificates, agreements, documents executed in connection with the
transactions contemplated thereby (collectively "UIT Documents") to which it is
a party.
We have assumed that each party is duly qualified and has full
power and authority to perform its obligations under the UIT Documents and the
transactions contemplated by the UIT Documents.
We have assumed that each party complied with all orders,
rules, regulations applicable to it or in connection with the UIT Documents or
the transactions contemplated thereby. We have further assumed that no party to
the transaction contemplated by the UIT Documents is subject to any statute,
rule or regulation, or to any
168096.1

impediment to which contracting parties are not generally subject, which
requires such party to obtain the authorization or consent of, or to register or
make a declaration or filing with, or inquiry of any governmental agency or
regulatory authority.
Based on such examination and assumptions, we are of the
opinion that the Units, the registration of which this Notice makes definitive,
when sold by the Depositor and purchased and paid for by the Unitholder, duly
executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with the Trust Agreement and
the Registration Statement relating to such Units, the Units were (i) validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (ii) legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Trust, and the holders of the Units are entitled to the
benefits of the related Trust Agreement, except as enforcement thereof may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity
regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law.
We are not admitted to the practice of law in any jurisdiction
but the State of New York and we do not hold ourselves out as experts in or
express any opinion as to the laws of other states or jurisdictions except as to
matters of Federal and Delaware corporate law.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Rule 24f-2 Notice.
Very truly yours,
BATTLE FOWLER LLP
