To own property one does not necessarily have to have an estate in fee simple. One having a lease estate may be said to have ownership of a sort. See Restatement: Property, § 10, comment c; Tiffany, Real Property, 3d Ed., § 2; Baltimore & Ohio Railroad v. Walker, 45 Ohio St. 577, 16 N.E. 475; Weinberg v. Baltimore & Annapolis Railroad, Md., 88 A.2d 575. It is not straining the concept of ownership unduly to say that a lessee ‘owns’ an interest in the subject matter of the lease and that when the lease is executed he has ‘acquired’ that interest. Id. at 54.
