Life and register readings
Mehmed Şerif Beğ was born in Istanbul in 1874/75 (AH 1291); the father's occupation was "Eski Selanik vilayeti vali muavini". At about 21, in 1895/96, Mehmed Şerif Beğ began work, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1895/96, names Mehmed Şerif Beğ as Dâhiliye Mektûbî Kalemi memuru, with no place, with a rise to Surayi Devlet Azasi in 1905/06. Alongside, the lists for 1909/10 give a second post, in Istanbul as İstanbul valisi. The last entry, for 1911/12, names Mehmed Şerif Beğ as Nafia nazırı, with no place.
Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 15,000 in 1905/06, as Surayi Devlet Azasi, when 99 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 14 years of salary come to 1,280,760 kuruş, 16 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years, a level reached by fewer than 2 per cent of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more. The peak was 60 times the first salary, a rise matched by fewer than 4 per cent of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more. The last annual entry is for 1911/12.
