Life and register readings

The life of İBRAHİM EDHEM EFENDİ began in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1858/59 (AH 1275). At about 32, in 1890/91, İBRAHİM EDHEM began work, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1890/91, with İBRAHİM EDHEM as Rüsûmat muhafaza memuru and no place named, with a rise to customs official (Rüsumat Memuru) in 1891/92. The lists have no entry for 1892 to 1899. The last post was in Shëngjin (Şengin) in 1899/1900.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to a peak of 300 in 1891/92, as Rüsumat Memuru, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 8,400 kuruş, 58 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1899/1900.
