Mehmet İzzet Efendi

Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of Mehmet İzzet Efendi began in Ankara in 1833/34 (AH 1249); the father's occupation was "Haymana kazası mülkiye müdürü". Work began in Ankara in 1872/73, at about 39. Of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known, fewer than 4 per cent started at 39 or older. The annual lists begin in 1872/73, with Mehmet İzzet as Arazi kalemi mülazımı in Ankara, the birthplace. Next came Haymana and Beypazarı from 1878 to 1880. Alongside, the lists for 1881/82 give a second post, in Haymana as Muvakkat duhan tahrir memuru. The last entries, from 1885 to 1894, name Mehmet İzzet as Memleha kâtibi, with no place. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1879/80, Infisal for 1888 to 1891 and Azil (dismissal) for 1891/92.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 750 kuruş a month in 1874/75, when 70 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 500 kuruş. Over 11 years pay ended below where it began, 300 kuruş against 750. The last annual entry is for 1893/94.
