                            ------------------------

                     FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
                          TO BE HELD ON APRIL 21, 1999

                                  INTRODUCTION

      This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by
the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Smith Barney Municipal Fund, Inc.
(the "Fund") of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
"Meeting") of the Fund, to be held at the Fund's principal executive offices at
388 Greenwich Street, 22nd Floor, New York, New York 10013, on April 21, 1999 at
9:30 A.M. (New York Time), and at any adjournments thereof, for the purposes set
forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
"Notice").

      The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Fund. Proxy
solicitations will be made mainly by mail. In addition, certain officers,
directors and employees of the Fund; Salomon Smith Barney Inc. ("Salomon Smith
Barney"), which makes a market in the Fund's shares; SSBC Fund Management Inc.
("SSBC" or the "Manager") (formerly Mutual Management Corp.), the Fund's
investment manager; and/or First Data Investor Services Group, Inc. ("FDIS"),
the Fund's transfer agent, may solicit proxies in person or by telephone,
telegraph, or mail. Salomon Smith Barney and SSBC are each located at 388
Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013; FDIS is located at 53 State Street,
Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

      The Annual Report of the Fund, including audited financial statements for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, has previously been furnished to all
stockholders of the Fund. This proxy statement and form of proxy are first being
mailed to stockholders on or about March 25, 1999. The Fund will provide
additional copies of the annual report to any stockholder upon request by
calling the Fund at 1-800-331-1710.

      All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted
at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise
as provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked, shares
represented by the proxies will be voted "FOR" all the proposals. For purposes
of determining the presence of a quorum for transacting business at the Meeting,
abstentions and broker "non-votes" (i.e. proxies from brokers or nominees
indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial
owner or other persons entitled to vote 

<PAGE>

shares on a particular matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do
not have discretionary power) will be treated as shares that are present but
which have not been voted. Because the requisite approval of both proposals is
measured by a portion of the votes actually cast, abstentions and broker
"non-votes" will have no impact on the approval of a proposal. Proposal 1
requires for approval the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at
the Meeting with a quorum present. Proposal 2 requires for approval the
affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting with a quorum
present. Any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof by
submitting another proxy bearing a later date, by giving written notice to the
Secretary of the Fund at the Fund's address indicated above, or by voting in
person at the Meeting.

      The Board knows of no business other than that specifically mentioned in
the Notice to be presented for consideration at the Meeting. If any other
matters are properly presented, it is the intention of the persons named in the
enclosed proxy to vote in accordance with their best judgment to the extent
permissible under applicable law.

      The Board of Directors of the Fund has fixed the close of business on
March 3, 1999 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of
stockholders of the Fund entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any
adjournment thereof. Stockholders of the Fund on that date will be entitled to
one vote on each matter for each share held, and a fractional vote with respect
to fractional shares, with no cumulative voting rights. At the Record Date, the
Fund had outstanding 4,021,161.791 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per
share, the only authorized class of stock, of which 3,983,103.000 shares, or
99.05% were held in accounts, but not beneficially owned by, CEDE & CO., as
nominee for The Depository Trust Company, Box 20, Bowling Green Station, New
York, NY 10004-9998. At the Record Date, no other person (including any "group"
as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to
the knowledge of the Board or the Fund, owned beneficially more than 5% of the
outstanding shares of the Fund. As of the Record Date, the officers and Board
members of the Fund in the aggregate beneficially owned less than 1% of the
outstanding shares of the Fund.

      In the event that a quorum is not present, or if sufficient votes in favor
of the proposals set forth in the Notice and this Proxy Statement are not
received by the time scheduled for the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may
move for one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation
of proxies with respect to any such proposals. In determining whether to adjourn
the Meeting, the following factors may be considered: the nature of the
proposals that are the subject of the Meeting, the percentage of votes actually
cast, the percentage of negative votes actually cast, the nature of any further
solicitation and the information to be provided to stockholders with respect to
the reasons for the solicitation. Any such adjournment will require the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the Meeting. The persons
named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those shares which they
are entitled to vote and which have voted in favor of such proposals.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 1

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

      The Board of Directors of the Fund is currently classified into three
classes. The Board of Directors has nominated two new directors to serve as
Class I directors and two new directors to serve as Class III directors and a
Class III director for re-election; each Class III director that may serve on
the Board has been nominated by the Board of Directors for election at the
Meeting to serve for a term of three years (until the 2002 Annual Meeting of
Stockolders) and each Class I director that may serve on the Board has been
nominated by the Board of Directors for election at the Meeting to serve for a
term of one year (until the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders) or until his or
her successor is elected and qualified. The affirmative vote of a plurality of
the votes cast at the Meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to
elect each nominee. It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed
proxy to vote in favor of the election of the persons listed below as nominees.

      The Board knows of no reason why any of the Class I or Class III
nominee(s) listed below will be unable to serve, but in the event of any such
unavailability, the proxies received will be voted for such substitute nominees
as the Board may recommend.

      Certain information concerning the nominees is set forth below. All of the
nominees currently serve as directors of other Smith Barney mutual funds. Any
director affiliated with the Manager or otherwise considered an "interested
person" of the Fund, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act") is indicated by an asterisk (*).

             Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

      Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Fund's
officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent
of a registered class of the Fund's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the American Stock
Exchange and the Fund. Based solely upon its review of the copies of such forms
received by it and representations from such persons, the Fund believes that,
during fiscal year 1998, all filing requirements applicable to such persons were
complied with.

      The Fund has no compensation or nominating committee of the Board of
Directors, or any committee performing similar functions. The Fund has an audit
committee composed of all the directors who are not "interested persons" of the
Fund as defined under the 1940 Act (the "independent directors") which is
charged with recommending a firm of independent auditors to the Fund and
reviewing accounting matters with the auditors.

      Seven meetings of the Board were held between January 1, 1998 and December
31, 1998, four of which were regular meetings. Two Audit Committee meetings were
also held. No incumbent director attended less than 75% of these meetings.

      Only the independent directors receive remuneration from the Fund for
acting as a director. Aggregate fees and expenses (including reimbursement for
travel and out-of-pocket expenses) of $13,732 were paid to such directors by the
Fund during the fiscal year ended on December 31, 1998. Fees for the
independent directors, who also serve as board members of certain other funds
sponsored by or affiliated with Salomon Smith Barney, are currently set at
$42,000 per annum plus a per meeting fee of $100 per fund (or portfolio thereof,
with respect to in-person meetings). None of the officers of the Fund received
any compensation from the Fund for such period. Officers and interested
directors of the Fund are compensated by Salomon Smith Barney.

      The following table shows the compensation paid to each person who was a
director of the Fund during the Fund's last fiscal year:

      have elected to defer the following amounts of their compensation from the
      Fund: Donald R. Foley: $24, John P. Toolan: $649, and the following

      Directors in the future will be required to change to emeritus status upon
      attainment of age 80. Directors Emeritus are entitled to serve in emeritus
      status for a maximum of 10 years during which time they are paid 50% of
      the annual retainer fee otherwise applicable to the Fund's directors,
      together with reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for each meeting attended.
      During the Fund's last fiscal year, total compensation paid by the Fund to
      Directors Emeritus (other than Mr. Fleiss who is covered in the table
      above) totalled $69.

                                 PROPOSAL NO. 2

                RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

      On December 4, 1998, based upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee
of the Fund's Board of Directors, and in accordance with Section 32 of the 1940
Act and the rules thereunder, the Board and the independent directors selected
KPMG LLP ("KPMG") as the Fund's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 1999. KPMG also serves as the independent auditors for the Manager,
other investment companies associated with Salomon Smith Barney and for
Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup"), as of December 31, 1998. Citigroup is the ultimate
parent company of both SSBC and Salomon Smith Barney. KPMG has no direct or
material indirect financial interest in the Fund, the Manager, Citigroup, or any
other investment company sponsored by Salomon Smith Barney or its affiliates.

      If the Fund receives a written request from any stockholder at least five
days prior to the Meeting stating that the stockholder will be present in person
at the Meeting and desires to ask questions of the auditors concerning the
Fund's financial statements, the 

                                       7
<PAGE>

Fund will arrange to have a representative of KPMG present at the Meeting who
will respond to appropriate questions and have an opportunity to make a
statement.

      The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast is required to ratify the
selection of KPMG.

      THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, INCLUDING ALL OF THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS,
RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.

                       SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

      Stockholder proposals intended to be presented at its 2000 Annual 
Meeting of Stockholders of the Fund must be received by November 26, 1999 
to be included in the proxy statement and the form of proxy relating to 
that meeting as the Fund expects that the 2000 Annual Meeting of 
Stockholders will be held in April of 2000. The submission by a stockholder
of a proposal for inclusion in the proxy statement does not guarantee that it
will be included.  Stockholder proposals are subject to certain regulations 
under the federal securities laws.

      The persons named as proxies for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders 
for 2000 will have discretionary authority to vote on any matter presented 
by a stockholder for action at that meeting unless the Fund receives notice 
of the matter by February 9, 2000, in which case these persons will not have 
discretionary voting authority except as provided in the Securities and 
Exchange Commission's rules governing stockholder proposals. 

                                  OTHER MATTERS

      The Manager knows of no other matters which are to be brought before the
Meeting. However, if any other matters not now known or determined properly come
before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed
form of proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on such
matters.

                                       By Order of the Board of Directors,
