Re Princor Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Inc.
In my capacity as Counsel of Princor Tax-Exempt Bond Fund, Inc. ("the Fund"),
I have supervised preparation of the Rule 24f-2 Notice for the Fund under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and have reviewed the legality of the
securities which are to be registered thereunder. Based upon examination of
such corporate records and matters of fact and law as deemed necessary, I am
of the opinion that such securities were legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Rule 24f-2
Notice for the Fund und the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Sincerely
Michael D. Roughton
Counsel
