For current recorded yield
information on the Funds, call
toll-free (800) 221-9513.
The Funds are open-end management
investment companies with invest-
ment objectives of safety, liquid-
ity and maximum current income (in
the case of Alliance Municipal
Trust-General, exempt from Federal
income taxes and, in the case of
the New York, California, Connecti-
cut, New Jersey, and Florida Port-
folios, exempt from Federal and
state income taxes of the respec-
tive states) to the extent consis-
tent with the first two objectives.
Alliance Money Reserves, Alliance
Government Reserves, Alliance Trea-
sury Reserves and the General Port-
folio of Alliance Municipal Trust
are diversified. The New York, Cal-
ifornia, Connecticut, New Jersey
and Florida Portfolios of Alliance
Municipal Trust are non-diversi-
fied, and are offered only to resi-
dents of each such respective
state. This prospectus sets forth
the information about each Fund
that a prospective investor should
know before investing. Please re-
tain it for future reference.
AN INVESTMENT IN A FUND IS (I)
NEITHER INSURED NOR GUARANTEED BY
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT; (II) NOT A DE-
POSIT OR OBLIGATION OF, OR GUARAN-
TEED OR ENDORSED BY, ANY BANK; AND
(III) NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORA-
TION, THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OR
ANY OTHER AGENCY. THERE CAN BE NO
ASSURANCE THAT A FUND WILL BE ABLE
TO MAINTAIN A STABLE NET ASSET
VALUE OF $1.00 PER SHARE. THE PORT-
FOLIOS OF ALLIANCE MUNICIPAL TRUST,
EXCEPT FOR THE GENERAL PORTFOLIO,
MAY INVEST A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF
THEIR ASSETS IN THE SECURITIES OF A
SINGLE ISSUER. ACCORDINGLY, AN IN-
VESTMENT IN SUCH PORTFOLIOS MAY BE
RISKIER THAN AN INVESTMENT IN OTHER
TYPES OF MONEY MARKET FUNDS.
A "Statement of Additional Infor-
mation" for each Fund dated Novem-
ber 1, 1996, which provides a fur-
ther discussion of certain areas in
this prospectus and other matters
which may be of interest to some
investors, has been filed with the

From time to time the Fund advertises its "yield" and "effective yield."
Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to
indicate future performance. To calculate the "yield," the amount of dividends
paid on a share during a specified seven-day period is assumed to be paid each
week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. To
calculate "effective yield," which will be higher than the "yield" because of
compounding, the dividends paid are assumed to be reinvested. For AMR divi-
dends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996 amounted to an annualized yield
of 4.48%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.58%. Absent such reimburse-
ment, the annualized yield for such period would have been 4.00%, equivalent
to an effective yield of 4.08%. For AGR dividends for the seven days ended
June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted to an annualized yield of
4.38%, equivalent to an effective yield of 4.48%. Absent such reimbursement,
the annualized yield for such period would have been 4.29%, equivalent to an
effective yield of 4.38%. For ATR dividends for the seven days ended June 30,
1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted to an annualized yield of 4.37%,
equivalent to an effective yield of 4.47%. Absent such reimbursement, the
annualized yield for such period would have been 4.19%, equivalent to an ef-
fective yield of 4.28%. For AMT-General dividends for the seven days ended
June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted to an annualized yield of
2.74%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.78%. Absent such reimbursement,
the annualized yield for such period would have been 2.69%, equivalent to an
effective yield of 2.73%. For AMT-New York dividends for the seven days ended
June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted to an annualized yield of
2.68%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.72%. Absent such reimbursement,
the annualized yield for such period would have been 2.16%, equivalent to an
effective yield of 2.18%. For AMT-California dividends for the seven days
ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted to an annualized
yield of 2.64%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.68%. Absent such reim-
bursement, the annualized yield for such period would have been 2.56%, equiva-
lent to an effective yield of 2.59%. For AMT-Connecticut dividends for the
seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted to an
annualized yield of 2.67%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.71%. Absent
such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would have been
2.31%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.34%. For AMT-New Jersey dividends
for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement, amounted
to an annualized yield of 2.61%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.64%.
Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would have
been 2.24%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.27%. For AMT-Florida divi-
dends for the seven days ended June 30, 1996, after expense reimbursement,
amounted to an annualized yield of 2.92%, equivalent to an effective yield of
2.96%. Absent such reimbursement, the annualized yield for such period would
have been 2.49%, equivalent to an effective yield of 2.52%.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The investment objective of Alliance Money Reserves is maximum current in-
come to the extent consistent with safety of principal and liquidity. The in-
vestment objectives of each of the other Funds are--in the following order of
priority--safety of principal, excellent liquidity and, to the extent consis-
tent with the first two objectives, maximum current income that is, in the
case of each portfolio of Alliance Municipal Trust, exempt from income taxa-
tion to the extent described below. As a matter of fundamental policy, each
Fund, except for AMT-Florida, pursues its objectives by maintaining a portfo-
lio of high-quality money market securities all of which at the time of in-
vestment have remaining maturities of one year (397 days with respect to ATR
and AMT-New Jersey) or less, which maturities may extend to 397 days. AMT-
Florida pursues its objectives by investing in high quality municipal securi-
ties having remaining maturities of 397 days or less (which maturities may ex-
tend to such greater length of time as may be permitted from time to time pur-
suant to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"),
as amended). While the fundamental policies described above and the "other
fundamental investment policies" described below may not be changed without
shareholder approval, each Fund may, upon notice to shareholders, but without
such approval, change nonfundamental investment policies or create additional
classes of shares in order to establish portfolios which may have different
investment objectives. There can be no assurance that any Fund's objectives
will be achieved.
The Funds will comply with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act as amended from time to
time, including the diversification, quality and maturity limitations imposed
by the Rule. The average maturity of each Fund's portfolio cannot exceed 90
days. A more detailed description of Rule 2a-7 is set forth in each Fund's
Statement of Additional Information.
ALLIANCE MONEY RESERVES
The money markey securities in which Alliance Money Reserves ("AMR") invests
include: (1) marketable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States
Government, its agencies or instrumentalities (collectively, the "US Govern-
ment"); (2) certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances issued or guaran-
teed by, or time deposits maintained at, banks or savings and loan associa-
tions (including foreign branches of U.S. banks or U.S. or foreign branches or
foreign banks) having total assets of more than $500 million; (3) commercial
paper of high quality [i.e., rated A-1 or A-2 by Standard & Poor's Corporation
("Standard & Poor's"), Prime-1 or Prime-2 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
("Moody's"), Fitch-1 or Fitch-2 by Fitch Investors Service, Inc., or Duff 1 or
Duff 2 by Duff & Phelps Inc. or, if not rated, issued by U.S. or foreign com-
panies having outstanding debt securities rated AAA, AA or A by Standard &
Poor's or Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's] and participation interests in loans ex-
tended by banks to such companies; and (4) repurchase agreements that are col-
lateralized in full each day by liquid securities of the types listed above.
Repurchase agreements may be entered into only with those banks (including
State Street Bank and Trust Company, AMR's Custodian) or broker-dealers ("ven-
dors") that are eligible under the procedure adopted by the Trustees for eval-
uating and monitoring the credit worthiness of such vendors. A repurchase
agreement would create a loss to AMR in the event of a vendor default, the
proceeds from the sale of the collateral were less than the repurchase price.
To the extent AMR purchases money market instruments issued by foreign enti-
ties, consideration will be given to the domestic marketability of such in-
struments, and possible interruptions of, or restrictions on, the flow of in-
ternational currency transactions.
AMR may purchase restricted securities that are determined by the Adviser to
be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees of AMR, in-
cluding securities eligible for resale under Rule 144A under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and commercial paper issued in reliance
upon the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
Restricted securities are securities subject to contractual or legal restric-
tions on resale, such as those arising from an issuer's reliance upon certain
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act.
AMR may invest in asset-backed securities that meet its existing diversifi-
cation, quality and maturity criteria.
9
<PAGE>
Asset-backed securities are securities issued by special purpose entities
whose primary assets consist of a pool of loans or accounts receivable. The
securities may be in the form of a beneficial interest in a special purpose
trust, limited partnership interest, or commercial paper or other debt securi-
ties issued by a special purpose corporation. Although the securities may have
some form of credit or liquidity enhancement, payments on the securities de-
pend predominately upon collection of the loans and receivables held by the
issuer. It is the Fund's current intention to limit its investment in such se-
curities to not more than 5% of its net assets.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To maintain portfolio diversification
and reduce investment risk, AMR may not (1) invest more than 25% of its assets
in the securities of issuers conducting their principal business activities in
any one industry although there is no such limitation with respect to U.S.
Government securities or certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and in-
terest bearing savings deposits; (2) invest more than 5% of its assets in the
securities of any one issuer (except the U.S. Government) although with re-
spect to one-quarter of its total assets it may invest without regard to such
limitation; (3) invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any is-
suer (except the U.S. Government) having less than three years of continuous
operation or purchase more than 10% of any class of the outstanding securities
or any issuer (except the U.S. Government); (4) borrow money except from banks
on a temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase agreements in ag-
gregate amounts not exceeding 15% of its assets and to facilitate the orderly
maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any periods of abnormally
heavy redemption requests; or (5) mortgage, pledge or hypothecate its assets
except to secure such borrowings.
As a matter of operating policy, fundamental policy number (2) would give
AMR the ability to invest with respect to 25% of its assets, more than 5% of
its assets in any one issuer only in the event Rule 2a-7 is amended in the fu-
ture.
ALLIANCE GOVERNMENT RESERVES
The securities in which Alliance Government Reserves ("AGR") invests are:
(1) marketable obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States Government,
its agencies or instrumentalities (collectively, the "U.S. Government"), in-
cluding issues of the United States Treasury, such as bills, certificates of
indebtedness, notes and bonds, and issues of agencies and instrumentalities
established under the authority of an act of Congress; and (2) repurchase
agreements that are collateralized in full each day by the types of securities
listed above. These agreements are entered into with "primary dealers" (as
designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government securi-
ties or State Street Bank and Trust Company, AGR's Custodian, and would create
a loss to the Fund if, in the event of a dealer default, the proceeds from the
sale of the collateral were less than the repurchase price. AGR may commit up
to 15% of its net assets to the purchase of when-issued U.S. Government secu-
rities, whose value may fluctuate prior to their settlement, thereby creating
an unrealized gain or loss to the Fund.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To maintain portfolio diversification
and reduce investment risk, AGR may not: (1) borrow money except from banks on
a temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase agreements in aggre-
gate amounts not exceeding 10% of its assets and to be used exclusively to fa-
cilitate the orderly maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any
periods of abnormally heavy redemption requests, if they should occur; such
borrowings may not be used to purchase investments and it will not purchase
any investment while any such borrowings exist; or (2) pledge, hypothecate or
in any manner transfer, as security for indebtedness, its assets except to se-
cure such borrowings.
ALLIANCE TREASURY RESERVES
The securities in which Alliance Treasury Reserves ("ATR") invests are: (1)
issues of the U.S. Treasury, such as bills, certificates of indebtedness,
notes and bonds; and (2) repurchase agreements that are collateralized in full
each day by the types of securities listed above. These agreements are entered
into with "primary dealers" (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York) in U.S. Government securities or State Street Bank and Trust Company,
ATR's Custodian. For each repurchase agreement, ATR requires continual mainte-
nance of the market value of the underlying collateral in amounts equal to, or
in excess of, the agreement amount.
10
<PAGE>
In the event of a dealer default, ATR might suffer a loss to the extent that
the proceeds from the sale of the collateral were less than the repurchase
price. ATR may commit up to 15% of its net assets to the purchase of when-
issued U.S. Treasury securities. Delivery and payment for when-issued securi-
ties takes place after the transaction date. The payment amount and the inter-
est rate that will be received on the securities are fixed on the transaction
date. The value of such securities may fluctuate prior to their settlement,
thereby creating an unrealized gain or loss to ATR.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To maintain portfolio diversification
and reduce investment risk, ATR may not: (1) borrow money except from banks on
a temporary basis or via entering into reverse repurchase agreements in aggre-
gate amounts not exceeding 10% of its assets and to be used exclusively to fa-
cilitate the orderly maturation and sale of portfolio securities during any
periods of abnormally heavy redemption requests, if they should occur; such
borrowings may not be used to purchase investments and it will not purchase
any investment while any such borrowings exist; or (2) pledge, hypothecate or
in any manner transfer, as security for indebtedness, its assets except to se-
cure such borrowings.
ALLIANCE MUNICIPAL TRUST
The investment objectives of each Portfolio are safety of principal, liquid-
ity and, to the extent consistent with these objectives, maximum current in-
come that is exempt from income taxation to the extent described below. Except
when a Portfolio assumes a temporary defensive position, as a matter of funda-
mental policy, at least 80% of each Portfolio's total assets will be invested
in municipal securities (as opposed to the taxable investments described be-
low). Normally, substantially all of each Portfolio's income will be tax-ex-
empt as described below (e.g., for 1995, 100% of the income of each Portfolio
was exempt from Federal income taxes).
The General Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral income taxes by investing principally in a diversified portfolio of high
quality municipal securities. Such income may be subject to state or local in-
come taxes.
The New York Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral, New York state and New York City personal income taxes by investing, as
a matter of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a
portfolio of high quality municipal securities issued by New York state or its
political subdivisions.
The California Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
Federal and California state personal income taxes by investing, as a matter
of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a portfolio of
high quality municipal securities issued by the State of California or its po-
litical subdivisions.
The Connecticut Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
Federal and Connecticut state personal income taxes by investing, as a matter
of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a portfolio of
high quality municipal securities issued by the State of Connecticut or its
political subdivisions.
The New Jersey Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from
Federal and New Jersey state personal income taxes by investing, as a matter
of fundamental policy, not less than 65% of its total assets in a portfolio of
high quality municipal securities issued by the State of New Jersey or its po-
litical subdivisions. The New Jersey Portfolio will invest not less than 80%
of its net assets in securities the interest on which is exempt from New Jer-
sey personal income taxes [i.e. New Jersey municipal securities and obliga-
tions of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities ("U.S. Gov-
ernment Securities")]. In addition, during periods when Alliance Capital Man-
agement L.P. (the "Adviser") believes that New Jersey municipal securities
that meet the New Jersey Portfolio's standards are not available, it may in-
vest a portion of its assets in securities whose interest payments are only
federally tax-exempt.
The Florida Portfolio seeks maximum current income that is exempt from Fed-
eral income tax and State of Florida intangible tax by investing not less than
65% of its total assets in a portfolio of high-quality municipal securities
issued by Florida or its political subdivisions.
Each Portfolio of the Fund may invest without limitation in tax-exempt mu-
nicipal securities subject to the alternative minimum tax (the "AMT").
11
<PAGE>
Under current Federal income tax law, (1) interest on tax-exempt municipal
securities issued after August 7, 1986 which are "specified private activity
bonds," and the proportionate share of any exempt-interest dividends paid by a
regulated investment company which receives interest from such specified pri-
vate activity bonds, will be treated as an item of tax preference for purposes
of the AMT imposed on individuals and corporations, though for regular Federal
income tax purposes such interest will remain fully tax-exempt, and (2) inter-
est on all tax-exempt obligations will be included in "adjusted current earn-
ings" of corporations for AMT purposes. Such bonds have provided, and may con-
tinue to provide, somewhat higher yields than other comparable municipal secu-
rities. See below, "Daily Dividends, Other Distributions, Taxes."
There can be no assurance that the Portfolios will achieve their investment
objectives. Potential investors in the New York, California, Connecticut, New
Jersey and Florida Portfolios should consider the greater risk of the concen-
tration of such Portfolios versus the safety that comes with less concentrated
investments and should compare yields available on portfolios of the relevant
state's issues with those of more diversified portfolios, including other
states' issues, before making an investment decision. The Adviser believes
that by maintaining each Portfolio's investments in liquid, short-term, high
quality investments, each Portfolio is largely insulated from the credit risks
that exist on long-term municipal securities of the relevant state. See the
Statement of Additional Information for a more detailed discussion of the fi-
nancial condition of New York, California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Flori-
da.
Municipal Securities. The municipal securities in which each Portfolio in-
vests include municipal notes and short-term municipal bonds. Municipal notes
are generally used to provide for short-term capital needs and generally have
maturities of one year or less. Examples include tax anticipation and revenue
anticipation notes, which are generally issued in anticipation of various sea-
sonal revenues, bond anticipation notes, and tax-exempt commercial paper.
Short-term municipal bonds may include general obligation bonds, which are se-
cured by the issuer's pledge of its faith, credit and taxing power for payment
of principal and interest, and revenue bonds, which are generally paid from
the revenues of a particular facility or a specific excise or other source.
A Portfolio may invest in variable rate obligations whose interest rates are
adjusted either at predesignated periodic intervals or whenever there is a
change in the market rate to which the security's interest rate is tied. Such
adjustments minimize changes in the market value of the obligation and, ac-
cordingly, enhance the ability of the Portfolio to maintain a stable net asset
value. Variable rate securities purchased may include participation interests
in industrial development bonds backed by letters of credit of Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation member banks having total assets of more than $1 bil-
lion. The letters of credit of any single bank in respect of all variable rate
obligations will not cover more than 10% of a Portfolio's total assets.
Each Portfolios' municipal securities at the time of purchase are rated
within the two highest quality ratings of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Aaa
and Aa, MIG 1 and MIG 2, or VMIG 1 and VMIG 2) or Standard & Poor's Corpora-
tion (AAA and AA or SP-1 and SP-2), or judged by the Adviser to be of compara-
ble quality. Securities must also meet credit standards applied by the
Adviser.
To further enhance the quality and liquidity of the securities in which the
Portfolios invest, such securities frequently are supported by credit and li-
quidity enhancements, such as letters of credit, from third party financial
institutions. The Adviser continuously monitors the credit quality of such
third parties; however, changes in the credit quality of such a financial in-
stitution could cause a Portfolio's investments backed by that institution to
lose value and affect a Portfolio's share price.
A Portfolio also may invest in stand-by commitments, which may involve cer-
tain expenses and risks, but such commitments are not expected to comprise
more than 5% of any Portfolio's net assets. A Portfolio may commit up to 15%
of its net assets to the purchase of when-issued securities. The Fund's custo-
dian will maintain, in a separate account of the respective Portfolio, liquid
high-grade debt securities having value equal to, or greater than, such when-
issued securities. The price of when-issued securities, which is generally ex-
pressed in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is
made, but delivery and payment for such securities takes place at a later
time. Normally the settlement
12
<PAGE>
date occurs from within ten days to one month after the purchase of the issue.
The value of when-issued securities may fluctuate prior to their settlement,
thereby creating an unrealized gain or loss to a Portfolio.
Taxable Investments. The taxable investments in which each Portfolio may in-
vest include obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies, high quality
certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, prime commercial paper, and
repurchase agreements.
Other Fundamental Investment Policies. To reduce investment risk, the Gen-
eral Portfolio may not invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal
securities whose issuers are located in the same state, and no Portfolio may
invest more than 25% of its total assets in municipal securities the interest
upon which is paid from revenues of similar-type projects; a Portfolio may not
invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer
except the U.S. Government, although (i) with respect to 25% of its total as-
sets the General Portfolio may invest up to 10% per issuer, and (ii) the New
York, California, Connecticut, New Jersey and Florida Portfolios may invest
50% of their respective total assets in as few as four issuers (but no more
than 25% of total assets in any one issuer); and a Portfolio may not purchase
more than 10% of any class of the voting securities of any one issuer except
those of the U.S. Government.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SHARE PRICE. Shares are sold and redeemed on a continuous basis without
sales or redemption charges at their net asset value which is expected to be
constant at $1.00 per share, although this price is not guaranteed. The net
asset value of each Fund's shares is determined each business day at 12:00
Noon and 4:00 p.m. (New York time). The net asset value per share of a Fund is
calculated by taking the sum of the value of that Fund's investments (amor-
tized cost value is used for this purpose) and any cash or other assets, sub-
tracting liabilities, and dividing by the total number of shares outstanding.
All expenses, including the fees payable to the Adviser, are accrued daily.
TIMING OF INVESTMENTS AND REDEMPTIONS. The Funds have two transaction times
each business day, 12:00 Noon and 4:00 p.m. (New York time). New investments
represented by Federal funds or bank wire monies received by State Street Bank
at any time during a day prior to 4:00 p.m. are entitled to the full dividend
to be paid to shareholders for that day. Shares do not earn dividends on the
day a redemption is effected regardless of whether the redemption order is re-
ceived before or after 12:00 Noon.
During drastic economic or market developments, shareholders might have dif-
ficulty in reaching Alliance Fund Services, Inc. by telephone in which event
the shareholder should issue written instructions to Alliance Fund Services,
Inc. at the address shown in this prospectus. The Funds reserve the right to
suspend or terminate their telephone service at any time without notice. Nei-
ther the Funds nor the Adviser, or Alliance Fund Services, Inc. will be re-
sponsible for the authenticity of telephone requests to purchase or sell
shares. Alliance Fund Services, Inc. will employ reasonable procedures in or-
der to verify that telephone requests are genuine and could be liable for
losses arising from unauthorized transactions if it failed to do so. Selected
dealers or agents may charge a commission for handling telephone requests for
redemptions.
Redemption proceeds are normally wired or mailed either the same or the next
business day, but in no event later than seven days, unless redemptions have
been suspended or postponed due to the determination of an "emergency" by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or to certain other unusual conditions.
DAILY DIVIDENDS, OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS, TAXES. All net income of each Fund is
determined each business day at 4:00 p.m. (New York time) and is paid immedi-
ately thereafter pro rata to shareholders of that Fund of record via automatic
investment in additional full and fractional shares of that Fund in each
shareholder's account. As such additional shares are entitled to dividends on
following days, a compounding growth of income occurs.
Net income consists of all accrued interest income on Fund assets less the
Fund's expenses applicable to that dividend period. Realized gains and losses
are reflected in its net asset value and are not included in net income.
Distributions to you out of tax-exempt interest income earned by each Port-
folio of Alliance Municipal Trust are not subject to Federal income tax (other
than the AMT), but, in the case of the General Portfolio, may be subject to
state or local income taxes. Any exempt-interest dividends derived from inter-
est on municipal securities subject to the AMT will be a specific preference
item for purposes of the Federal individual and corporate AMT. Distributions
to residents of New York out of income earned by the New York Portfolio from
New York municipal securities are exempt from New York state and New York City
personal income taxes. Distributions to residents of California out of income
earned by the California Portfolio from California municipal securities are
exempt from California personal income taxes. Distributions to individuals who
are residents of Connecticut out of income earned by the Connecticut Portfolio
from Connecticut municipal securities are exempt from Connecticut personal in-
come taxes. Distributions to residents of New Jersey out of income earned by
the New Jersey Portfolio from New Jersey municipal securities or U.S. Govern-
ment Securities are exempt from New Jersey state personal income taxes. Dis-

Dividends paid by the Florida Portfolio to individual Florida shareholders
will not be subject to Florida income tax, which is imposed only on corpora-
tions. However, Florida currently imposes an "intangible tax" at the rate of
$2.00 per $1,000 taxable value of certain securities, such as shares of the
Portfolio, and other intangible assets owned by Florida residents. U.S. Gov-
ernment securities and Florida municipal securities are exempt from this in-
tangible tax. It is anticipated that the Florida Portfolio shares will qualify
for exemption from the Florida intangible tax. In order to so qualify, the
Florida Portfolio must, among other things, have its entire portfolio invested
in U.S. Government securities and Florida municipal securities on December 31
of any year. Exempt-interest dividends paid by the Florida Portfolio to corpo-
rate shareholders will be subject to Florida corporate income tax. Distribu-
tions out of taxable interest income, other investment income, and short-term
capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income and distributions of long-
term capital gains, if any, are taxable as long-term capital gains irrespec-
tive of the length of time you may have held your shares. Distributions of
short and long-term capital gains, if any, are normally made near year-end.
Each year shortly after December 31, the Funds will send you tax information
stating the amount and type of all its distributions for the year just ended.
THE ADVISER. Each Fund retains Alliance Capital Management L. P., 1345 Ave-
nue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105 under separate Advisory Agreements to
provide investment advice and, in general, to supervise its management and in-
vestment program, subject to the general control of the Trustees of each Fund.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, AMR, AGR, ATR, AMT-General, AMT-NY,
AMT-CA, AMT-CT and AMT-NJ each paid the Adviser an advisory fee at an annual
rate of .49, .48, .50, .50, .42, .50, .25 and .23 of 1%, respectively, of the
average daily value of the respective Portfolio's net assets. For the period
ended June 30, 1996, the Adviser waived the advisory fee for AMT-FL.
Under a Distribution Services Agreement (the "Agreement"), each Fund pays
the Adviser at a maximum annual rate of .25 of 1% of the Fund's aggregate av-
erage daily net assets. For the period ended June 30, 1996, AMR, AGR, ATR,
AMT-General, AMT-NY, AMT-CA, AMT-CT, AMT-NJ and AMT-FL each paid the Adviser a
distribution services fee at an annual rate of .25, .24, .01, .25, .15, .24,
.15, .15 and .15 of 1%, respectively, of the average daily value of the net
assets of each Portfolio. Substantially all such monies (together with signif-
icant amounts from the Adviser's own resources) are paid by the Adviser to
broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries for their distribution as-
sistance and to banks and other depository institutions for administrative and
accounting services provided to the Funds, with any remaining amounts being
used to partially defray other expenses incurred by the Adviser in distribut-
ing the Funds' shares. The Funds believe that the administrative services pro-
vided by depository institutions are permissible activities under present
banking laws and regulations and will take appropriate actions (which should
not adversely affect the Funds or their shareholders) in the future to main-
tain such legal conformity should any changes in, or interpretations of, such
laws or regulations occur.
The Adviser will reimburse each Fund to the extent that aggregate operating
expenses of that Fund (including the Adviser's fee and expenses incurred under
the Agreement) exceed 1% of its average daily net assets for any fiscal year.

Since this prospectus sets forth information about all the Funds, it is the-
oretically possible that a Fund might be liable for any materially inaccurate
or incomplete disclosure in this prospectus concerning another Fund. Based on
the advice of counsel, however, the Funds believe that the potential liability
of each Fund with respect to the disclosure in this prospectus extends only to
the disclosure relating to that Fund.
