ITEM  4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANTS

On  November  6,  1998, the General Partner,  on  behalf  of
American Republic Realty Fund I, approved the recommendation
to  (i)  engage Farmer, Fuqua, Hunt & Munselle, P.C. as  the
independent accountants for American Republic Realty Fund  I
and  (ii)  dismiss Deloitte & Touche LLP as such independent
accountants.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and  the
subsequent  interim  period through November  6,  1998,  (i)
there  were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche  LLP  on
any  matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which
disagreements if not resolved to its satisfaction would have
caused it to make reference in connection with its report to
the subject matter of the disagreement, and (ii) Deloitte  &
Touche  LLP has not advised the registrant of any reportable
events as defined in paragraph (A) through (D) of Regulation
S-K Item 304 (a) (1) (v).

The  accountants'  report of Deloitte & Touche  LLP  on  the
financial statements of  American Republic Realty Fund I  as
of  and for the year ended December 31, 1997 did not contain
any  adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and  was  not
qualified  or  modified as to uncertainty, audit  scope,  or
accounting principles. The accountants' report of Deloitte &
Touche LLP on the financial statements of  American Republic
Realty  Fund  I  as of and for the year ended  December  31,
1996  did  not  contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer  of
opinion,  however  it was qualified as to the  partnership's
ability to continue as a going concern.

A  letter from Deloitte & Touche LLP is attached as  Exhibit
A.
