NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995 (UNAUDITED)                        ALLIANCE TREASURY RESERVES
_______________________________________________________________________________

NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Alliance Government Reserves (the 'Trust') is an open-end diversified 
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The 
Trust consists of two portfolios: Alliance Government Reserves and Alliance 
Treasury Reserves (the 'Portfolio'). Each portfolio is considered to be a 
separate entity for financial reporting and tax purposes. The following is a 
summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

1. VALUATION OF SECURITIES
Securities in which the Portfolio invests are traded primarily in the 
over-the-counter market and are valued at amortized cost, under which method a 
portfolio instrument is valued at cost and any premium or discount is amortized 
on a constant basis to maturity.

2. ORGANIZATION EXPENSES
The organization expenses of the Portfolio are being amortized against income 
on a straight-line basis through September, 1998.

3. TAXES
It is the Portfolio's policy to comply with the require-ments of the Internal 
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all 
of its investment company taxable income and net realized gains, if applicable, 
to its shareholders. Therefore, no provisions for federal income or excise 
taxes are required.

4. DIVIDENDS
The Portfolio declares dividends daily and automatically reinvests such 
dividends in additional shares at net asset value. Net realized capital gains 
on investments, if any, are expected to be distributed near year end.

5. GENERAL
Interest income is accrued as earned. Security transactions are recorded on a 
trade date basis. Security gains and losses are determined on the identified 
cost basis. It is the Portfolio's policy to take possession of securities as 
collateral under repurchase agreements and to determine on a daily basis that 
the value of such securities are sufficient to cover the value of the 
repurchase agreements.

NOTE B: ADVISORY FEE AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AN AFFILIATE OF THE ADVISER
The Portfolio pays its Adviser, Alliance Capital Management L.P., an advisory 
fee at the annual rate of .50 of 1% on the first $1.25 billion of average daily 
net assets; .49 of 1% on the next $.25 billion; .48 of 1% on the next $.25 
billion; .47 of 1% on the next $.25 billion; .46 of 1% on the next $1 billion; 
and .45 of 1% in excess of $3 billion.

The Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Portfolio to the extent that its 
aggregate expenses (excluding taxes, brokerage, interest and, where permitted, 
extraordinary expenses) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any 
fiscal year. For the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Adviser also 
voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Portfolio for expenses exceeding .80 of 1% 
of its average daily net assets. No reimbursement was required for the six 
months ended December 31, 1995. The Portfolio compensates Alliance Fund 
Services, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser) for providing 
personnel and facilities to perform transfer agency services for the Portfolio. 
Such compensation amounted to $144,489 for the six months ended December 31, 
1995.

NOTE C: DISTRIBUTION ASSISTANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES PLAN
Under this Plan, the Portfolio pays the Adviser a distribution fee at the 
annual rate of up to .25% of 1% of the average daily value of the Portfolio's 
net assets. The Plan provides that the Adviser will use such payments in their 
entirety for distribution assistance and promotional activities. For the six 
months ended December 31, 1995, the Adviser waived all payments under the Plan. 
In addition, the Portfolio may reimburse certain broker-dealers for 
administrative costs incurred in connection with providing shareholder 
services, accounting and bookkeeping, and legal and compliance support. For the 
six months ended December 31, 1995, such payments by the Portfolio amounted to 
$100,794 of which $62,000 was paid to the Adviser.

NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
