PROXY STATEMENT

A proxy is enclosed with the foregoing Notice of the Annual Meetings of
Shareholders of Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Trust (the "California
Fund"), Eaton Vance Florida Municipal Income Trust (the "Florida Fund"), Eaton
Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Trust (the "Massachusetts Fund"), Eaton
Vance Michigan Municipal Income Trust (the "Michigan Fund"), Eaton Vance

Income Trust (the "New Jersey Fund"), Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income
Trust (the "New York Fund"), Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Trust (the "Ohio
Fund") and Eaton Vance Pennsylvania Municipal Income Trust (the "Pennsylvania
Fund") (collectively the "Funds"), to be held March 21, 2003 for the benefit of
shareholders who do not expect to be present at the meeting. This proxy is
solicited on behalf of the Board of Trustees of each Fund, and is revocable by
the person giving it prior to exercise by a signed writing filed with the Funds'
Secretary, or by executing and delivering a later dated proxy, or by attending
the meeting and voting the shares in person. Each proxy will be voted in
accordance with its instructions; if no instruction is given, an executed proxy
will authorize the persons named as attorneys, or any of them, to vote in favor
of the election of each Trustee. This proxy material is being mailed to
shareholders on or about January 29, 2003.

The Board of Trustees of each Fund has fixed the close of business January
14, 2003, as the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled
to notice of and to vote at the meeting and any adjournments thereof.
Shareholders at the close of business on the record date will be entitled to one
vote for each share held. The number of Common Shares, $.01 par value per share
("Common Shares") and the number of Auction Preferred Shares, $.01 par value per
share, liquidation preference $25,000 per share ("APS"), of each Fund
outstanding on January 14, 2003 was as follows:

No. of Common No. of APS
Shares Outstanding Shares Outstanding
Fund January 14, 2003 On January 14, 2003
---- ---------------- -------------------

California Fund 7,177,287 2,360
Florida Fund 4,230,281 1,420
Massachusetts Fund 2,637,773 860
Michigan Fund 2,087,955 700
Municipal Fund 16,630,039 5,240
New Jersey Fund 4,542,866 1,520
New York Fund 5,355,058 1,780
Ohio Fund 2,792,775 940
Pennsylvania Fund 2,667,293 900

Each Fund will vote separately on each item; votes of multiple Funds will
not be aggregated.

As of January 14, 2003, no shareholder beneficially owned more than 5% of
the outstanding shares of a Fund. The Trustees and officers of each Fund, as a
group, own beneficially less than 1% of the shares of each Fund.

The Board of Trustees of the Funds know of no business other than that
mentioned in Item 1 of the Notice of Meeting which will be presented for
consideration. If any other matters are properly presented, it is the intention
of the persons named as attorneys in the enclosed proxy to vote the proxies in
accordance with their judgment on such matters.

PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

Each Fund's Declaration of Trust provides that the Board of Trustees shall
be divided into three classes. The term of office of the Class I Trustees
expires on the date of the 2003 Annual Meeting, and the term of office of the
Class II and Class III Trustees will expire one and two years thereafter,
respectively. Trustees chosen to succeed the Trustees whose terms are expiring
will be elected for a three-year term. An effect of staggered terms is to limit
the ability of entities or persons to acquire control of a Fund.

Each Fund's Declaration of Trust provides that a majority of the Trustees
shall fix the number of the entire Board and that such number shall be at least
two and no greater than fifteen. Each Board has fixed the number of Trustees at
seven. Proxies will be voted for the election of the following nominees. Each
nominee is presently serving as a Trustee and has consented to continue to so
serve. In the event that a nominee is unable to serve for any reason (which is
not now expected) when the election occurs, the accompanying Proxy will be voted
for such other person or persons as the Board of Trustees may recommend.

The nominees for Class I Trustees to serve until the 2006 Annual Meeting
are Jessica M. Bibliowicz and Donald R. Dwight. The Trustees serving until the
2004 Annual Meeting are James B. Hawkes and Samuel L. Hayes, III. The Trustees
serving until the 2005 Annual Meeting are Norton H. Reamer, Lynn A. Stout and
Jack L. Treynor.

The nominees and Trustees and their principal occupations for at least the
last five years are as follows.

INTERESTED TRUSTEES

James B. Hawkes is an "interested person" (as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act")) by reason of his affiliations with Eaton
Vance Management ("EVM" or "Eaton Vance"), each Fund's investment adviser, and
Eaton Vance Corp. ("EVC"), a publicly traded holding company which indirectly
owns all the outstanding stock of EVM; and of EVM's trustee, Eaton Vance, Inc.
("EV"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EVC. (EVM, EVC, and their
affiliates are sometimes referred to collectively as the "EVC organization".)

Jessica M. Bibliowicz is an "interested person" because of her affiliation
with a brokerage firm that is and has been a dealer in shares of Funds for which
EVM acts as investment adviser.

ELECTION OF TRUSTEES BY APS AND COMMON SHARES

Under the terms of each Fund's By-Laws, as amended (the "By-Laws"), the
holders of the APS are entitled as a class, to the exclusion of the holders of
the Common Shares, to elect two Trustees of each Fund. No APS Trustees are to be
elected at this meeting. The By-Laws further provide for the election of the
nominees named below by the holders of the Common Shares and the APS, voting as
a single class. Election of Trustees is non-cumulative. The Trustees of a Fund
shall be elected by a plurality of the shares of the Fund entitled to vote.

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2002, the Trustees of each Fund
met nine times, the Nominating Committee met six times, the Special Committee
met four times and the Audit Committee met two times. Each Fund's Trustees
listed above attended at least 75% of such Board and committee meetings on which
he or she serves.

The Nominating Committee of the Board of Trustees of each Fund is comprised
of all the Trustees who are not "interested persons" as that term is defined
under the 1940 Act. Messrs. Treynor (Chairman), Dwight, Hayes, Reamer and Ms.
Stout are currently serving on the Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to
recommend to the Board nominees for the position of noninterested trustee and to
assure that at least a majority of the Board of Trustees is independent of Eaton
Vance and its affiliates. The Board will, when a vacancy exists or is
anticipated, consider any nominee for Trustee recommended by a shareholder if
such recommendation is submitted to the Board in writing and contains sufficient
background information concerning the individual to enable a proper judgment to
be made as to such individual's qualifications.

Messrs. Hayes (Chairman), Dwight, Reamer and Ms. Stout are members of the
Special Committee of the Board of Trustees of each Fund. The purpose of the
Special Committee is to consider, evaluate and make recommendations to the full
Board concerning (i) all contractual arrangements with service providers to a
Fund, including investment advisory, administrative, transfer agency, custodial
and fund accounting and distribution services (if any), and (ii) all other
matters in which Eaton Vance or its affiliates has any actual or potential
conflict of interest with a Fund or its shareholders.

Messrs. Treynor (Chairman), Dwight, Hayes and Reamer are members of the
Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of each Fund. Each member is
independent of the Fund, as defined by the New York Stock Exchange and American
Stock Exchange Listing Standards. The Audit Committee's functions include making
recommendations to the Board regarding the selection of the independent
certified public accountants, and reviewing matters relative to trading and
brokerage policies and practices, accounting and auditing practices and
procedures, accounting records, internal accounting controls, and the functions
performed by the custodian, transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent of each
Fund. Each Fund's Board of Trustees has adopted a written charter for its Audit
Committee. A copy of the Audit Committee's charter was included as an appendix
to the Funds' proxy statement used in connection with the Funds' Annual Meeting
of Shareholders held on March 23, 2001. Set forth below under "Additional
Information" is the Audit Committee's Report for each Fund.

REMUNERATION OF TRUSTEES

The fees and expenses of those Trustees of each Fund who are not members of
the Eaton Vance organization will be paid by the Funds. For the fiscal year
ended November 30, 2002, the noninterested Trustees of the Funds earned the
following compensation in their capacities as Trustees of the Funds, and for the
year ended December 31, 2002 earned the following compensation in their
capacities as Trustees of the registered investment companies in the Eaton Vance
fund complex(1):

registered investment companies or series thereof.
(2) Includes $60,000 of deferred compensation.
(3) Includes $16,000 of deferred compensation.

Trustees of each Fund who are not affiliated with Eaton Vance may elect to
defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the
terms of a Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan (a "Trustees' Plan"). Under each
Trustees' Plan, an eligible Trustee may elect to have his deferred fees invested
by each Fund in the shares of one or more funds in the Eaton Vance Family of
Funds, and the amount paid to the Trustees under each Trustees' Plan will be
determined based upon the performance of such investments. Deferral of Trustees'
fees in accordance with each Trustees' Plan will have a negligible effect on the
Fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a
Fund to retain the services of any Trustee or obligate a Fund to pay any
particular level of compensation to the Trustee. No Fund has a Trustee
retirement plan.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF EACH FUND RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR
THE ELECTION OF THE TWO NOMINEES TO THEIR FUND'S CLASS I TRUSTEES.

NOTICE TO BANKS AND BROKER/DEALERS

Each Fund has previously solicited all Nominee and Broker/Dealer accounts
as to the number of additional proxy statements required to supply owners of
shares. Should additional proxy material be required for beneficial owners,
please forward such requests to PFPC Inc., Attention: Mr. Joseph P. Lundbohm,
P.O. Box 43027, Providence, RI 02940-3027.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT. Each Fund's Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the
audited financial statements with Fund management. Each Fund's Audit Committee
also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be
discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards). Each
Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from the
independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1
(Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with
Audit Committees), and discussed with the independent accountants their
independence.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, each Audit Committee
recommended to the Board of Trustees that the audited financial statements be
included in the Fund's annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended
November 30, 2002 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

AUDITORS, AUDIT FEES AND ALL OTHER FEES. Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte"), 200
Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116, serves as independent certified
public accountants of each Fund. Deloitte is expected to be represented at the
Annual Meeting, but if not, a representative will be available by telephone
should the need for consultation arise. Representatives of Deloitte will have
the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be
available to respond to appropriate questions. For the most recent fiscal year,
the Funds paid an aggregate of $322,000 in professional fees to their auditors,
Deloitte, (ranging from $27,900 to $57,800 per Fund), of which $147,400 was paid
for audit services and $173,700 was paid for other services. Deloitte also
provides services to numerous other investment companies sponsored by Eaton
Vance and serves as EVC's auditors. Total fees paid to Deloitte by Eaton Vance
Corp. (and its affiliates) for the most recent fiscal year ended October 31,
2002 were $816,946. The Audit Committee and Board of Trustees of each Fund are
aware that Deloitte provides services to the Eaton Vance organization.

set forth below. Because of their positions with Eaton Vance and their ownership

Fund, the officers of the Ohio Fund owned 18,600 shares of that Fund, the

(1) The business address of each officer is The Eaton Vance Building, 255 State

(2) Includes both master and feeder funds in master-feeder structure.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR. Eaton Vance Management with its principal
office at The Eaton Vance Building, 255 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02109, serves as the investment adviser and administrator to each Fund.

PROXY SOLICITATION AND TABULATION. The expense of preparing, printing and
mailing this Proxy Statement and enclosures and the costs of soliciting proxies
on behalf of the Board of Trustees of each Fund will be borne ratably by the
Funds. Proxies will be solicited by mail and may be solicited in person or by
telephone, telegraph or facsimile by officers of a Fund, by personnel of its
administrator, Eaton Vance, by the transfer agent, PFPC Inc., or by
broker-dealer firms. The expenses connected with the solicitation of these
proxies and with any further proxies which may be solicited by a Fund's
officers, by Eaton Vance personnel, by the transfer agent, PFPC Inc., or by
broker-dealer firms, in person, or by telephone, by telegraph or by facsimile
will be borne by that Fund. A written proxy may be delivered to a Fund or its
transfer agent prior to the meeting by facsimile machine, graphic communication
equipment or similar electronic transmission. A Fund will reimburse banks,
broker-dealer firms, and other persons holding that Fund's shares registered in
their names or in the names of their nominees, for their expenses incurred in

sending proxy material to and obtaining proxies from the beneficial owners of
such shares. Total estimated costs per Fund are $18,000 for the Municipal Fund
and $6,500 for each other Fund.

All proxy cards solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly
executed and received by the Secretary prior to the meeting, and which are not
revoked, will be voted at the meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will
be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is
made on the proxy card with respect to Proposal 1, it will be voted for the
matters specified on the proxy card. All shares that are voted and votes to
ABSTAIN will be counted towards establishing a quorum, as will broker non-votes
for matters required by the 1940 Act to be approved by a "majority of the
outstanding voting securities" of the Fund. (Broker non-votes are shares for
which (i) the beneficial owner has not voted and (ii) the broker holding the
shares does not have discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter.)
Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will assist the Fund in obtaining
a quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1.

In the event that sufficient votes by the shareholders of the Fund in favor
of any Proposal set forth in the Notice of this meeting are not received by
March 21, 2003, the persons named as attorneys in the enclosed proxy may propose
one or more adjournments of the meeting to permit further solicitation of
proxies. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the Proposals in this
Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received
and it is otherwise appropriate. Any such adjournment will require the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of that Fund present
in person or by proxy at the session of the meeting to be adjourned. The persons
named as attorneys in the enclosed proxy will vote in favor of such adjournment
those proxies which they are entitled to vote in favor of the Proposal for which
further solicitation of proxies is to be made. They will vote against any such
adjournment those proxies required to be voted against such Proposal. The costs
of any such additional solicitation and of any adjourned session will be borne
by the relevant Fund.

A copy of a Fund's Annual or Semi-Annual Report will be furnished without
