Life and register readings

Ramazan Remzi Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1865/66 (AH 1282). Work began in Shkodër in 1885/86, at about 20, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1885/86 to 1907/08 places Ramazan Remzi in the same post, Merkez Gümrük İdaresi kolcusu, in Shkodër, the birthplace. A career like this is rare; fewer than 5 per cent of the 2,755 officials whose entries span 20 years or more stayed in one place throughout.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1885/86 to a peak of 370 in 1907/08, in Shkodër, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 23 years of salary come to 59,880 kuruş, 53 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.
