Henry Scott (Mayor of Adelaide)

Henry Scott (1836 – 16 December 1913) was a South Australian businessman, politician and mayor of Adelaide
==History==
Henry was the seventh son of Thomas Scott, of Boode House, near Braunton, in Devonshire, a member of an old Scottish family, and was educated in Bristol. At the age of 18 he followed his brother Abraham (ca.1817–1903) to Adelaide and helped run his wool-broking business, which he took over around 1866. He was one of the founders, and for many years a director, of the National Bank of Australasia, and was responsible for erection of the Eagle Chambers at the corner of Pirie Street and King William Street. He was appointed a director of the Bank of Adelaide in 1889, and held similar positions with the Queensland Investment and Land Mortgage Company, and the National Mutual Life Association. He was attorney for the Cornwall Fire and Marine Insurance Company until its amalgamation with the Commercial Union Assurance Company, of which he was a director, and was an agent for the Eagle Life Assurance Company. He invested in various pastoral properties throughout the colony.
In 1877 he won the position of Mayor of Adelaide, after a contest with William Christie Buik, and held it the following year against (later Sir) John Colton. In September 1878 he won a seat in the Legislative Council, at that time a single electorate, and held it for thirteen years, then with the return of multiple electorates held a Central Division seat until 14 April 1891, when he retired. Throughout this period he gave vigorous support to deep-drainage schemes, which helped give Adelaide a reputation as the healthiest city in Australia.
