Life and register readings
Mehmed Hilmi Efendi was born in Mostar in 1878 (AH 1295); the father was a tradesman (esnaf). At about 20, in 1898/99, Mehmed Hilmi began work in Istanbul, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1898/99, names Mehmed Hilmi as Polis neferi, with no place. For 1899 to 1901 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Hilmi to Istanbul from 1901 to 1904. Alongside, the lists for 1902/03 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Üçüncü sınıf polis komiseri (İstifa). Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1904 give a second post, in Kütahya as Telgraf ve Posta Merkezi posta seyyar memuru.
The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to 500 in 1902/03, the peak, in Kütahya, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1903/04.
