In March, April, and May 1997, Mr. Keierleber purchased
Interests, respectively for $605 per Interest up until April 14,
1997 and $592.50 per Interest after April 14, 1997 through
Wellington Investment Services, Inc. ("Wellington")(including
commissions).  Mr. Keierleber has agreed to purchase Interests
from Wellington Clients (as defined in the settlement agreement
described below) for $605 per Interest through April 14, 1997 and
$592.50 per Interest between April 15 and May 5, 1997.  A copy of
the offer is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by reference
herein.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.

Mr. Keierleber is the individual general partner of Decade
Companies, the general partnership that is the general partner of
DCIP, and already controls and manages DCIP.

In December 1996, DCIP and Decade Companies brought an action in
federal court against Arnold Leas, Wellington Management
Corporation, and WMC Realty, Inc. for injunctive and other relief
based on asserted securities laws violations and other claims
arising from a proxy statement and other filings by Mr. Leas and
Wellington Management Corporation.  Mr. Leas, Wellington
Management Corporation, and WMC Realty, Inc. counterclaimed
against DCIP and Decade Companies for alleged securities laws
violations.  Mr. Leas and Wellington Management Corporation
ultimately undertook a proxy contest seeking, among other things,
to remove Decade Companies as DCIP's General Partner.  Their
solicitation failed to obtain approval by a majority of the
Interests outstanding.

In order to settle all matters on behalf of DCIP and Decade
Companies, Mr. Keierleber agreed to buy all Interests from
Wellington's clients (as defined in the settlement offer attached
as Exhibit 1) until May 5, 1997, provided that Wellington obtains
the rights to offer the Interests by isolated transactions that
do not give rise to a tender offer or general solicitation.  A
copy of the offer is attached as Exhibit 1 and incorporated by
reference herein.

The litigation between DCIP and Decade Companies and Leas,
Wellington Management Corporation and WMC Realty was dismissed on
March 20, 1997.

The lawsuit was dismissed pursuant to a settlement agreement
dated March 13, 1997, between the parties.  Pursuant to the
settlement agreement, Jeffrey Keierleber, an individual who is a
general partner in Decade Companies (the General Partner of DCIP)
has agreed to purchase certain Interests for prices between
$592.50 and $605 (including commissions) until May 5, 1997,
provided that the limited partnership interests are acquired by
isolated transactions that do not give rise to general
solicitation or a tender offer.  Pursuant to the settlement
agreement, Mr. Keierleber and Mr. Leas (and their affiliates)
agreed that for a period of ten years from March 13, 1997,
neither they nor any affiliate will:  (a) acquire, offer to
acquire or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase
or otherwise, any voting securities (including partnership
interests) or direct or indirect rights or options to acquire any
securities of any Decade or Wellington sponsored partnership or
an affiliate of the parties, as the case may be; (b) make, or in
any way participate, directly or indirectly, in any
"solicitation" of "proxies" to vote (as such terms are used in
the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or
seek to advise or influence any person or entity with respect to
the voting of any voting securities of any Decade or Wellington
sponsored partnership or an affiliate; (c) form, join or in any
way participate in a "group" within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with
respect to any voting securities of any Decade or Wellington
sponsored partnership or an affiliate; or (d) otherwise act,
alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence
the management, the general partner or policies of any Decade or
Wellington sponsored partnership or an affiliate.

A copy of the settlement offer is filed herewith as Exhibit 1 and
the terms are incorporated by reference.

Other than as listed above, no material changes in the issuer's
assets, business or structure are contemplated by Mr. Keierleber
or Decade Properties, Inc. and, except as discussed above, no
transactions of the type in Items (a)-(j) are contemplated.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

(a) and (b).  Prior to purchase of Interests in March and April
1997, Mr. Keierleber directly and indirectly held 193.04
Interests, or approximately 1.4% of the outstanding Interests. 
Upon purchase of Interests pursuant to the Settlement Agreement
and the purchase by Decade Properties, Inc., Mr. Keierleber
beneficially owns, and has the sole power to vote and dispose,
1,611.88 Interests (or approximately 12% of the outstanding
Interests) (such total includes the March 1997, purchase by
Decade Properties, Inc. of seven Interests.)

(c).  Except for the purchase of Interests described above, there
have been no transactions by Mr. Keierleber or Decade Properties,
Inc. with respect to the Interests during the 60 days preceding
the date of this Schedule 13D.

(d).  Decade Properties, Inc., a joint filer, holds, directly and
indirectly, seven of the outstanding Interests.

(e).  Not Applicable.

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
          RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Other than the Settlement Agreement described in Item 4 above,
which was included as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D, and
agreements referred to or contained therein, there are no
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between
Mr. Keierleber or Decade Properties, Inc. and any other person
with respect to any securities of DCIP.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

Exhibit No. 1       Offer and Settlement Agreement
                    dated March 13, 1997 (previously filed with
