Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On March 26, 1999, the Registrant's ultimate General Partner voted to
engage the accounting firm of Swenson Advisors LLP, as the independent public
accountant to audit the Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1998, to replace the firm of Balser, Horowitz, Frank &
Wakeling, the independent public accountant engaged to audit the Registrant's
financial statements as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and for each of the years
in the three year period ended December 31, 1997.
Consistent with the Registrant's policies, the Registrant considered
several independent public accountants to audit the Registrant's fiscal year
ending December 31, 1998. The Registrant's General Partner approved the select-
ion of Swenson Advisors LLP.
During the three fiscal years ending December 31, 1997 and the
subsequent interim period preceding the engagement of Swenson Advisors LLP,
there were no disagreements with Balser, Horowitz, Frank & Wakeling on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or
auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved to the
satisfaction of Balser, Horowitz, Frank & Wakeling would have caused that firm
to make reference in connection with its report to the subject matter of the
disagreement or any reportable events.
Balser, Horowitz, Frank & Wakeling's report on the financial statements
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and for each of the years in the three year
period ended December 31, 1997, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion and was not qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
principles.
The Registrant requested that Balser, Horowitz, Frank & Wakeling
furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Balser, Horowitz,
Frank & Wakeling's letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated March
29, 1999, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.
