Life and register readings

Born in Burdur in 1864/65 (AH 1281), Mehmed Nuri Efendi (H. 1281 / M. 1864) was the child of a merchant (tüccar). At about 15, in 1878/79, Mehmed Nuri (H. 1281 / M. began work in Burdur. The first annual entry, for 1878/79, places Mehmed Nuri (H. 1281 / M. in Burdur, the birthplace, as Ma'a Tahrir-i Vergi Kalemi stajyeri, where the entries run to 1886/87. Next came a post with no place named from 1887 to 1896. Alongside, the lists for 1895/96 give a second post, in Burdur as Vergi kâtibi.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 400 in 1895/96, the peak, in Burdur, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 19,800 kuruş, 68 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1895/96.
