Life and register readings
Osman Refet Efendi was born in Çorum in 1881/82 (AH 1299); the father's occupation was "Bolu Sancağı Bidayet Mahkemesi başkâtibi". At about 23, in 1905/06, Osman Refet began work, on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1905/06, names Osman Refet as Maiyyet memuru, with no place. The last posts were in Nova Varoš in 1909/10 and Gönen in 1911.
The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1905/06 to 1,500 in 1909/10, the peak, as a district governor (Kaymakam) in Nova Varoš, when four in five paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 60,000 kuruş, 1.7 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1911.
