Life and register readings
Mehmed Behçet Efendi was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1872/73 (AH 1289); the father's occupation was "Amara Bidayet Mahkemesi müddeiumumi muavini". The first salary was 100 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1890/91, with Mehmed Behçet as Muntefik sancağı tahrirat kalemi memuru and no place named. For 1893 to 1900 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1892/93.
Pay rose from 125 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 500 in 1900/01, when 55 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 12,900 kuruş, 67 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.
