Life and register readings

Yusuf Ziya Efendi was born in Antalya in 1889/90 (AH 1307); the father's occupation was "Jandarma onbaşısı". Work began in Antalya in 1908/09, at about 18, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1908/09, to 1910/11, every annual entry places Yusuf Ziya in the same post, Defter-i Hâkânî İdaresi merkez ikinci kitabet refakati, in Antalya, the birthplace.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1908/09 to 250 in 1910/11, the peak, in Antalya, when 13 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 6,600 kuruş, 36 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.
