NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1997                                        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. As a matter of 
fundamental policy, the Portfolio pursues its objectives by maintaining a 
portfolio of high-quality money market securities all of which, at the time of 
investment, have remaining maturities of 397 days or less. The following is a 
summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolio.

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. INVESTMENT INCOME AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment transactions are recorded on a 
trade date basis. Realized gain (loss) from investment transactions is recorded 
on the identified cost basis.

6. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
It is the Fund'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, pursuant to the advisory agreement, 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. The Adviser also voluntarily 
agreed to reimburse the Portfolio for the year ended June 30, 1997 for expenses 
exceeding .85 of 1% of its average daily net assets. For the year ended June 
30, 1997 the reimbursement amounted to $90,495. 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 $508,795 for the year ended June 30, 
1997.

_______________________________________________________________________________

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 year 
ended June 30, 1997, the distribution fee amounted to $1,715,073 of which 
$927,136 was waived. In addition, the Portfolio may reimburse certain 
broker-dealers for administrative costs incurred in connection with providing 
shareholder services and may reimburse the Adviser for accounting and 
bookkeeping, and legal and compliance support. For the year ended June 30, 
1997, such payments by the Portfolio amounted to $263,648 of which $131,000 was 
paid to the Adviser.

NOTE D: INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
At June 30, 1997, the cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was 
the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.

NOTE E: TRANSACTIONS IN SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST
An unlimited number of shares ($.001 par value) are authorized. At June 30, 
1997, capital paid-in aggregated $704,067,835. Transactions, all at $1.00 per 
share, were as follows:
