Appropriations

U.S Appropriations are lands set aside at the time of the original founding and platting of the city for use by the U.S. Federal Government. The White House, for instance, Treasury Building, Ellipse and LaFayette Park all sit on Appropriation No. 1. D.C General Hospital is on Appropriation No.13 (with the consent of the Federal Government). Appropriations are often confused with U.S Reservations but the two terms are not interchangeable. There are 17 U.S Appropriations in Washington, D.C., all of which are located within the limits of the Original City and, by definition; there can never be any more.美国划拨用地（U.S Appropriations）指在城市最初建立与地籍规划测绘之时预留的、专供美国联邦政府使用的土地。例如，白宫、财政部大楼、椭圆广场及拉斐特公园均坐落于1号划拨用地。华盛顿哥伦比亚特区总医院位于13号划拨用地（需经联邦政府许可）。划拨用地常与美国保留地（U.S Reservations）相混淆，但二者不可互换使用。华盛顿哥伦比亚特区境内共计17处美国划拨用地，全部位于初始建城的范围之内，且根据其定义，此类用地的数量永无新增可能。
