Life and register readings

Mehmet İzzet Efendi was born in Bandırma in 1852/53 (AH 1269). The schooling was at a school for young children (Sıbyan Mektebi). At about 20, in 1873/74, Mehmet İzzet began work in Bandırma. The first annual entry, for 1873/74, places Mehmet İzzet in Bandırma, the birthplace, as Rüsumat İdaresi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1876/77. Alongside, the lists for 1876 to 1880 give a second post, in a post with no place named as a customs official (Rüsumat Memuru). Alongside, the lists for 1879 to 1883 give a second post, in Bandırma as Rüsumat İdaresi ikinci kâtibi, with a rise to Rüsumat İdaresi ikinci kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1885 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Rüsumat İdaresi memuru. The lists have no entry for 1885 to 1892. Alongside, the lists for 1884/85 give a second post, in Bandırma as Rüsumat İdaresi sandık emini.

Pay rose from 140 kuruş a month in 1873/74 to a peak of 400 in 1875/76, in Bandırma, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1892/93.
