Life and register readings

Servet Efendi was born in Bursa in 1881/82 (AH 1299) into the İslam community; the father's occupation was "Gilan na'ibi". Work began in 1902/03, at about 20, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1902/03, names Servet as Dersaâdet emtia dahiliye gümrüğü nezareti katibliği, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1903 to 1905.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1902/03 to a peak of 450 in 1905/06, when half the paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.
