Official

Unnamed official (0087_0093, sayfa no:183.)

Muslim (Müslüman). Born in Elbistan in 1872/73 (AH 1289). On record 1893 to 1905, 12 annual entries.

Life

This official was born in Elbistan in 1872/73 (AH 1289), into the Muslim (Müslüman) community. Schooling took seven years, at a middle school (Rüşdiye Mektebi).

The official began work in Basra in 1893/94, at about 21, paid from the start, on 400 kuruş a month. The first annual entry, for 1893/94, places the official in Basra as a communications official (Muhabere Memuru), where the entries run to 1896/97. The last posts were in Hillah (Hille) from 1897 to 1905.

Pay rose from 400 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to a peak of 513 in 1896/97, as Muhabere Memuru in Basra, when 60 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 475 kuruş. The final annual entry is for 1904/05.
