Life and register readings
Mehmed Efendi (B) was born in Krujë (Akçahisar) in 1857/58 (AH 1274). At about 18, in 1876/77, Mehmed (B) began work in Shkodër (İşkodra). The annual lists begin in 1876/77, with Mehmed (B) as Rüsûmat Nezareti mülazımı in Shkodër. Alongside, the lists for 1876 to 1878 give a second post, in Podgorica as Duhan süvari kolcusu. Alongside, the lists for 1878 give a second post, in Shkodër as Geçici Duhan Tahrir ve Liva Kalemi kâtibi. Next came Lezhë (Leş) from 1878 to 1882. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1885 give a second post, in Krujë as Rüsûm-ı Sitte memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1884 to 1887 give a second post, in a post with no place named as a customs official (Rüsumat Memuru).
The salary went from 200 kuruş a month in 1876/77 to 300 in 1878, the peak, in Shkodër, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 12 years of salary come to 36,600 kuruş, 61 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1886/87.
