Life and register readings

Mehmed Sadık Efendi was born in Elbistan, into the İslam community. Work began in 1900/01 (AH 1318). The annual lists begin in 1900/01, with Mehmed Sadık as Ab kazası naibi and no place named. Next came Demirci from 1908 to 1911. At the same time, from 1910 to 1911, the lists also place Mehmed Sadık in Süleymanlı (Zeytun) as Zeytun kazası naibi. For 1911 to 1916 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1911 give a second post, in Kos as İstanköy naibi. The last entry, for 1916/17, names Mehmed Sadık as Dördüncü sınıf naip, with no place.

Pay rose from 900 kuruş a month in 1908/09 to a peak of 1,500 in 1910/11, in Süleymanlı, when four in five paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 57,600 kuruş, 2.3 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1916/17.
