Life and register readings

The life of Osman Nuri Efendi began in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1864/65 (AH 1281). Osman Nuri began work in Shkodër in 1882/83, at about 18. The annual lists begin in 1882/83, with Osman Nuri as Rüsûmat Nezareti mülazımı in Shkodër, the birthplace. Alongside, the lists for 1882 to 1891 give a second post, in Shëngjin as Rüsûmat İdaresi kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1890 to 1892 give a second post, in a post with no place named as a customs official (Rüsumat Memuru), with a rise to Rüsumat Memuru. The lists have no entry for 1892 to 1895. The last post was in Shkodër again in 1895/96.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to a peak of 300 in 1890/91, as Rüsumat Memuru, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 11 years the salaries add up to 30,000 kuruş, 56 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1895/96.
