Life and register readings

Rıfat Rıza Bey was born in Bosna; the father's occupation was "Tıravnik sancağı muhasebecisi". Work began in 1898/99 (AH 1316). The annual lists begin in 1898/99, with Rıfat Rıza as Evrak müdüriyeti mülazımı and no place named. At the same time, from 1900 to 1909, the lists also place Rıfat Rıza in Sehremaneti as Şehremaneti meclis üyesi. The last post was in Ankara in 1912/13. For 1911 to 1912 the lists have no entry. In place of a title the lists give Mazuliyet for 1910/11.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 2,000 kuruş a month in 1900/01, in Sehremaneti, when 93 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 11 years pay ended below where it began, 1,500 kuruş against 2,000. In all, 11 years of salary come to 227,460 kuruş, 3.5 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1912/13.

Places in order of time
