Life and register readings
Born in Kemah, Mustafa Ağa was the child of a customs official (rüsumat memuru). Work began in 1889/90 (AH 1307), on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1889/90, names Mustafa as Rüsumat kolcusu, with no place.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 150 kuruş a month in 1889/90, when one in ten paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 12,600 kuruş, 37 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.
Career and salary#
