Dear Sirs:
We have acted as independent general counsel to Advantus Bond Fund,
Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the "Fund"), in connection with the Fund's
Registration Statement (File No. 33-12046). This opinion is addressed to you
in connection with a filing by the Fund of a notice (the "Notice") pursuant to
Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In that connection, we
have examined such documents and have reviewed such questions of law as we have
considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, and,
based thereon, we advise you that, in our opinion:
1. The Fund has been duly incorporated pursuant to Chapter 302A of
the Minnesota Statutes and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
under Minnesota law; and
2. The 357,286.6802 common shares, $.01 par value, of the Fund sold
by the Fund in reliance upon registration pursuant to Rule 24f-2 during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1995, as set forth in the Notice, were legally
issued, have been fully paid and are nonassessable, if issued and sold upon the
terms and in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement of the Fund
referred to above.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Dorsey & Whitney P.L.L.P.
DORSEY & WHITNEY
