Dear Sirs:
We have acted as counsel for Alliance Bond Fund,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection
with the Company's Rule 24f-2 Notice to be filed pursuant to
Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, to report the sale of 30,973,266 shares of Common
Stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share, during the
fiscal year of the Company ended June 30, 1997, in reliance
upon that Rule and pursuant to the registration of an
indefinite number of such shares under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
As counsel for the Company, we have examined and
relied upon such records of the Company and other documents
and certificates as to factual matters as we have deemed to
be necessary to render the opinion set forth below.
Based on that examination we are of the opinion
that the 30,973,266 shares so sold in reliance upon Rule
24f-2 were duly authorized and legally issued and, upon
their issuance, were fully paid and nonassessable shares of
common stock of the Company under the laws of the State of
Maryland.
Our opinion above stated is expressed as members of
the bar of the State of New York.

Alliance Bond Fund, Inc. 2 August 27, 1997

with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to
the above-referenced Rule 24f-2 Notice.
Very truly yours,
