         The undersigned, being the Secretary of Alliance

Massachusetts business trust (the "Trust"), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY
that, pursuant to the authority conferred on the Trustees of the
Trust by Section 6.1 of the Declaration of Trust dated April 16,
1985 (the "Original Declaration," and as from time to time
amended, the "Declaration"), at a meeting of the Trustees duly
called and held on September 11, 2000, the following resolution
was adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
Trustees, to establish a new Portfolio of assets of the Trust,
designated as the "Alliance Municipal Trust Ohio Portfolio," and
to designate a series of the shares of the Trust representing the
beneficial interest in such Portfolio, called the "Alliance
Municipal Trust Ohio Portfolio Series," and the powers,
designations and preferences, and relative, participating,
optional and other rights thereof, and the qualifications,
limitations and restrictions thereof:

         RESOLVED: That there is hereby established and
                   designated the Alliance Municipal Trust Ohio
                   Portfolio as a portfolio of the Trust (the

                   The beneficial interest in the Alliance
                   Municipal Trust Ohio Portfolio shall be
                   divided into a Series of Shares called the
                   Alliance Municipal Trust Ohio Portfolio
                   Series.  The Shares of the Alliance Municipal
                   Trust Ohio Portfolio Series shall represent

                   this Certificate of Designation may be amended
                   by a written instrument signed by a majority
                   of the Trustees (or by an officer of the Trust
                   pursuant to the vote of a majority of the
                   Trustees), provided, that, if any amendment
                   would adversely affect the rights of the
                   holders of Shares of the Alliance Municipal
                   Trust Ohio Portfolio Series, such amendment
                   may be adopted by the Trustees only if they
                   have been authorized to do so by the vote in
