Yetka, Justice.

Certiorari to the Tax Court to review its order entered October 10, 1974, granting taxpayer’s requested relief. Respondent-taxpayer, Railway Express Agency, Inc. (REA), an express company within the meaning of Minn. St. 295.01, subd. 4, petitioned the commissioner of taxation to review the assessment of 1970 real estate taxes against a tract of land in which it claimed a leasehold interest and to determine the tract was exempt from taxation. The requested relief was denied and REA appealed to the Tax Court, which reversed the commissioner. We reverse the Tax Court.
