Life and register readings

Salih Nazif Efendi was born in Gelibolu. The personnel record dates the first work to 1883/84 (AH 1301), after the first annual entry, on a first salary of 120 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1875/76, with Salih Nazif as askerlik and no place named, with a rise to customs official (Rüsumat Memuru) in 1891/92. The lists have no entry for 1884 to 1886.

The salary went from 120 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to 300 in 1891/92, the peak, as Rüsumat Memuru, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 12,960 kuruş, 45 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1891/92.
