Life and register readings
The life of Ömer Efendi began in Bosna; the father's occupation was "Topçu binbaşısı". Ömer began work in Hicaz Demiryolu in 1903/04 (AH 1321), on a first salary of 1,000 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1903/04, places Ömer in Hicaz Demiryolu as Hicaz Demiryolu mühendis muavini. Alongside, the lists for 1903 to 1910 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Hüdavendigâr mühendisi. Alongside, the lists for 1909 to 1911 give a second post, in Bitola as Manastır komiseri. Alongside, the lists for 1910 to 1911 give a second post, in Diyarbakır as Diyarbakır vilayeti merkez mühendisi.
Pay rose from 1,250 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to a peak of 3,500 in 1911, in Diyarbakır, when 94 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over nine years the salaries add up to 180,000 kuruş, 3.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. On average the pay stood in the top 13 per cent of each year's paid officials; fewer than 5 per cent of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more stood as high. The final annual entry is for 1911.
