  • History of ALDOT
    Module 1 Read Ahead History of ALDOT Module 1: History of ALDOT Objectives After attending the training in Module 1, participants will be able to: • understand the history of ALDOT from birth out of corrections in 1911 until today. • identify the many changes that have occurred throughout the history of ALDOT. • understand the many reorganizations of areas, regions, divisions, and bureaus. Early History of ALDOT In 1911, the State Highway Commission was created under Governor Emmet O’Neal’s Administration (1911-1915). The State Highway Commission consisted of five commissioners and three regular employees. The State Highway Commission was organized along with an Oyster Commission and was initially housed in the cloak room of the Senate Chamber in the Alabma State Capitol. The first five Alabama State Highway Commission Members were Robert E. Spragins, Chairman, of Huntsville; John Craft of Mobile who later became Chairman of the 2nd Commission; V. B. Atkins of Selma; G.N. Mitcham, Professor of Civil Engineering at Auburn University; and Eugene A. Smith, State Geologist at the University of Alabama. Regular Members of the Commission were W.S. Keller, State Highway Engineer who had experience at the County Engineer level; Robert P. Boyd, Assistant State Highway Engineer who had experience at the County Engineer level; and C.L. Rabb, Clerk. Earliest Years Early highway executives in 1911 shared some of the same financial woes as their current counterparts. The Financial Act of 1911 appropriated $154,000 from the State Convict Fund. The Act allowed the funds to be used for construction of roads and for the overhead expenses of the state executives.

This Court denied the prior motion to intervene and should likewise deny this recycled motion. As explained more fully below, the proposed intervenors are precluded from seeking intervention for a second time and, in any event, have failed to satisfy the legal requirements for either intervention of right or permissive intervention because their interest in a desegregated school system is adequately represented by the existing parties.1 PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL BACKGROUND This action is part of the state-wide school desegregation litigation styled as Lee v.

GEN-584 01Troy_2006-07_Handbook.pmd1 5/22/06, 11:00 AM Troy University Excellence is an enduring tradition at Troy University, but so too is a unique ability to adopt a name that best fits the needs of its students. TROY has customarily kept pace with an ever-shifting world through a variety of name changes. Since it was founded more than a century ago, the University, under many names, has continued to be a leader in academ- ics, athletics, and affordability. Established in 1887, TROY was originally referred to as Troy Normal School. The idea of the normal school came from a modification of an English school system that included two years of post-secondary education. The primary objective of each normal school in the South was to fulfill the higher education needs and ultimately the career goals of the resi- dents of the area. Specifically, Troy Normal School provided the citizens of Southeast Alabama with the opportunities associated with completing a teaching certificate.
