Life and register readings

Süleyman Servet Efendi was born in Sivas in 1878 (AH 1295); the father's occupation was "Tokat Rüştiye kol memuru". At about 28, in 1906/07, Süleyman Servet began work in Sivas, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. Both annual entries, for 1906/07 and 1907/08, place Süleyman Servet in Sivas, the birthplace, as polis memuru.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1906/07 to 400 in 1907/08, the peak, in Sivas, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.
