Summary

Torrington George Ellery (1872-1923) was born at Mount Gambier and joined Adelaide City Council in 1890. He won the position of Town Clerk from 47 other applicants when aged 27. He introduced public health and sanitation reforms to better the lives of the people of Adelaide. He was a workaholic and insomniac. His passion for work, ambitious nature and despotic style of management allowed him to win few friends among his subordinates.
