Life and register readings

Hüseyin Hüsnü Efendi was born in Kavaye in 1853/54 (AH 1270) into the İslam community. At about 18, in 1872/73, Hüseyin Hüsnü began work. The annual lists begin in 1872/73, with Hüseyin Hüsnü as Rüsûmat İdaresi mülazımı and no place named, with a rise to tithe official (Aşar Memuru) in 1882/83. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1889 give a second post, in Tirana as Aşar Memuru. For 1889 to 1896 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1898 give a second post, in Krujë as Mal Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1897/98 give a second post, in Shijak as Mal Muduru. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1900 give a second post, in Tirana as Mal Muduru. Next came Shijak from 1900 to 1905. The last entry, for 1906/07, names Hüseyin Hüsnü as Tekaüt, with no place.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to a peak of 800 in 1884/85, as Aşar Memuru in Tirana, when 77 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 26 years the salaries add up to 147,480 kuruş, 1.1 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.
