Life and register readings

Born in Bursa in 1879/80 (AH 1297), Süleyman Adil Efendi came from the İslam community. The first annual entry, for 1895/96, names Süleyman Adil as livâ şûbesi mukayyidliği refâkatı, with no place.

The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to 150 in 1899/1900, the peak, when one in ten paid officials earned less. In all, five years of salary come to 4,440 kuruş, 18 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.
