Applicant's Representations

    1. Applicant is an open-end, non-diversified management investment 
company organized as a New York trust. Applicant is a master fund in a 
master-feeder structure.
    2. On August 19, 1994, applicant registered under the Act and filed 
a

[[Page 46493]]

registration statement on Form N-1A. No registration was filed under 
the Securities Act of 1933 (``Securities Act'') because applicant's 
beneficial interests were issued solely in private placement 
transactions that did not involve any public offering within the 
meaning of section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
    3. Applicant's sole feeder fund terminated its operations and, 
therefore, applicant is doing the same. On November 20, 1995, 
applicant's Board of Trustees unanimously approved the liquidation of 
applicant, effective January 31, 1996. No shareholder approval was 
requested by the Declaration of Trust of Applicant, or by applicable 
law.
    4. By May 2, 1996, applicant redeemed both of its beneficial 
interests which were held by Eaton Vance Arizona Limited Maturity 
Municipals Fund, a series of Eaton Vance Investment Trust, and Eaton 
Vance Management. Each interest holder received cash equal to the net 
asset value of its interest in applicant.
    5. Applicant has no securityholders, liabilities or assets. 
Applicant is not a party to any litigation or administrative 
proceeding. Applicant is not now engaged, nor does it propose to 
engage, in any business activities other than those necessary for the 
winding up of its affairs.
    6. Applicant will take all required actions to terminate its 
existence as a New York trust upon receipt of an order from the SEC 
that it has ceased to be an investment company.

    For the SEC, by the Division of Investment Management, under 
delegated authority.
Margaret H. McFarland,
Deputy Secretary.
