Life and register readings

MÜRTAZA GALİB BEY was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1844/45 (AH 1260); the father's occupation was "Asâkir-i Muvazzafa binbaşısı". At about 21, in 1865/66, MÜRTAZA GALİB began work in Shkodër. Every annual entry from 1865/66 to 1881/82 places MÜRTAZA GALİB in the same post, Vilayet Mektubçu Kalemi mülazımı, in Shkodër, the birthplace.

The salary went from 170 kuruş a month in 1865/66 to 1,100 in 1876/77, the peak, in Shkodër, when 81 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 18 years the salaries add up to 150,840 kuruş, 1.6 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1881/82.
