NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A _ Financial Statements Preparation:
   The interim financial statements are unaudited but reflect all
adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals.  The
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements contained in the 1995 Annual Report.  The
results of operations for interim periods will not necessarily be
indicative of the operating results for the fiscal year.
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue
and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results can differ
from those estimates.
   Distributions and earnings per unit of limited partnership interest
are based on the total amounts distributed and allocated to limited
partners divided by the number of units outstanding during the period
(119,215 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995).
Note B _ Notes Payable:
   During  the quarter, the Partnership borrowed $600,000 on its bank
note in order to make final payment of $909,653 on the seller's note
that originated with the purchase of the Castro Valley storage center.

PART I ITEM 2  MANAGEMENT'S' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

   We are pleased to provide you with the financial reports for
IDS/Shurgard Income Growth Partners L.P. III for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996.
   Operating Results. The Partnership's performance continues to
improve with earnings up $145,000 or 38% over the same quarter last
year.  Rental revenue increased $86,000 or 5% in the first quarter of
1996 compared to the corresponding quarter of 1995.  The increase
resulted primarily from a 10% increase in the average rental rate per
square foot.  Stone Mountain, Tracy, and Castro Valley storage centers
contributed the largest revenue gain in your Partnership of $21,300
$19,500, and $18,300, respectively.  During the month of March the
Partnership lost its only tenant in the Castro Valley office building
representing approximately $5,000 per month in rent.  Management is
currently making efforts to fill the office space; however, it has
impacted average occupancies at quarter end.  Average occupancies
decreased eight percentage points from 89% at March 31, 1995 to 81% at
March 31, 1996.
   Total expenses decreased 4% for the quarter compared to 1995. The
majority of this decrease is due to the drop in amortization expense
which does not affect the Partnership's cash flow.  Additionally,
interest expense decreased as a result of the final payment on the
seller's note which originated with the purchase of the Castro Valley
storage center.  Operating and administrative expenses increased 2%
over the same quarter last year due to additional hours worked by the
store mangers as well as increased salaries.  Real estate taxes
increased 7% over the same quarter due to a refund received in March
1995 for the successful appeal of San Lorenzo's 1994 real estate
taxes.
   Cash Activities  The Partnership continues to investigate various
alternatives to provide the limited partners with greater liquidity.
Costs incurred by the Partnership in exploring various alternative
transactions totaled approximately $82,000.  Whether and when the
Partnership will reach agreement regarding the implementation of any
of the various alternatives will depend on a number of factors.  There
can be no assurance that any agreement will be reached, or if reached,
that the transactions contemplated thereby will be consummated.
   Capital improvements for the quarter totaled $38,600 which
represents the conversion of storage units at the Dobson Ranch storage
center.  Improvements planned for the remaining three quarters of 1996
total approximately $150,000 and include roofing and paving at the
Windcrest, Allen Boulevard and Stone Mountain storage centers as well
as new lighting at the Tracy storage center and security upgrades at
the Gilbert and San Lorenzo storage centers.  These improvements are
important to maintaining the value of your investment as well as its
ability to generate revenue.
   During the quarter, the Partnership borrowed $600,000 on its bank
note in order to make final payment of $909,653 on the seller's note
that originated with the purchase of the Castro Valley storage center.
