Life and register readings

MEHMET ALĠ EFENDĠ was born in Antalya in 1849/50 (AH 1266). Work began in Antalya in 1874/75, at about 24, on a first salary of 190 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1874/75, places MEHMET ALĠ EFENDĠ in Antalya, the birthplace, as Antalya Rüsumat Müdürlüğü iskele kâtibi, where the entries run to 1878/79. At the same time, from 1878 to 1883, the lists also place MEHMET ALĠ EFENDĠ in Feke as Feke rüsumat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1878 to 1885 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Rüsûmat idaresi kâtibi, with a rise to Rusumat Muduru in 1884/85.

Pay rose from 190 kuruş a month in 1874/75 to a peak of 500 in 1884/85, as Rusumat Muduru, when 59 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1884/85.
