Life and register readings

MEHMED NURİ EFENDİ was born in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1878 (AH 1295). At about 19, in 1897/98, MEHMED NURİ began work, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1897/98, names MEHMED NURİ as Rüsumat kolcusu, with no place. For 1901 to 1903 and 1904 to 1906 the lists have no entry.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to a peak of 300 in 1910/11, when one in five paid officials earned less. In all, eight years of salary come to 19,800 kuruş, 47 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.
