Life#
Born in Sliven (İslimiye) in 1859/60 (AH 1276), Huseyin Husnu Efendi came from the Muslim (Müslüman) community. Huseyin Husnu had nine years of schooling, at the Zabtiye Dersanesi. Few officials studied at Zabtiye Dersanesi; only 3 of the 5,146 officials with a school did. Every annual entry from 1879/80 to 1905/06 places Huseyin Husnu in Istanbul, with five changes of title, from 2. Cavus to Polis Meclisi Riyaseti in 1895/96.
Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1879/80 to a peak of 2,000 in 1895/96, as Polis Meclisi Riyaseti in Istanbul, when 96 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 1,800 kuruş. In all, 27 years of salary come to 332,400 kuruş, 2.1 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1905/06.
