THE OFFERING
Subject to the conditions set forth in this Prospectus and in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement, the
Partnership offers through the Dealer Manager 300,000 Interests at $100 per
Interest, subject to the right of the Dealer Manager to increase the offering
by up to an additional 200,000 Interests. Except for investors in certain
states that have imposed higher purchase requirements as set forth in the
Subscription Agreement, a form of which is included as Exhibit B, the minimum
subscription for an Individual Retirement Account or a Keogh Plan is 20
Interests. The minimum subscription for other investors is 50 Interests.
The Interests are being offered on a "best efforts" basis through
Murray Securities Corporation (the "Dealer Manager"), an Affiliate of the
General Partners. As compensation for their services in soliciting and
obtaining subscribers for the purchase of the Interests, the Partnership has
agreed to pay the Dealer Manager a commission of up to a maximum of 8% of the
gross proceeds on all sales made directly by it or by other dealers in
accordance with the following schedule:

750,000 999,999 4%

</TABLE>
Subscriptions may be combined for the purpose of determining the total
commissions payable in the case of subscriptions made by any investor who,
subsequent to his initial purchase of Interests, subscribes for the purchase of
additional Interests. To be eligible for combination, subscriptions must be
identical for all of the following: registration, type of ownership and tax
identification or social security number. Any request to combine subscriptions
will be subject to verification by the General Partners that all of such
subscriptions were made by a single investor. In such an event, the commission
payable with respect to the initial purchase of Interests will be computed
using the commission schedule set forth above. The commission payable with
respect to any subsequent purchase of Interests will equal the commission that
would have been payable in accordance with the commission schedule set forth
above if all purchases had been made simultaneously, less the commissions that
previously have been paid with respect to all prior purchases of Interests by
such an investor. The difference between 8% of the gross proceeds from the sale
of Interests and the amount payable to the Dealer Manager with respect to such
sale will be reimbursed to the Limited Partner as soon as possible after his
admission to the Partnership or, at the option of such Limited Partner, as
evidenced on his executed subscription agreement in the form of Exhibit B
hereto, will be applied to
