Life and register readings

Mazhar Tevfik Efendi was born in Istanbul; the father's occupation was "Meyve Gümrüğü İdaresi tezkere kâtibi (emekli)". The schooling was at the School of Law (Hukuk Mektebi).

Work began in Istanbul in 1903/04 (AH 1321). The first annual entry, for 1903/04, places Mazhar Tevfik in Istanbul, the birthplace, as Şûrâ-yı Devlet Mazbata Kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1910/11. Alongside, the lists for 1909 to 1911 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Beyoğlu Polis Komiseri.

The salary went from 30 kuruş a month in 1904/05 to 1,000 in 1909/10, the peak, when 68 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.

Places in order of time
