Life and register readings

ÖMER EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1866/67 (AH 1283). Work began in Basra in 1887/88, at about 21, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1887/88, to 1893/94, every annual entry places ÖMER in the same post, Rüsumat İdaresi ikinci kâtibi, in Basra.

The salary went from 250 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to 300 in 1890/91, the peak, in Basra, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, seven years of salary come to 23,400 kuruş, 69 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1893/94.
