Life and register readings
Mehmed Salih Efendi was born in Antalya in 1872/73 (AH 1289); the father's occupation was "Muytab". At about 15, in 1886/87, Mehmed Salih began work in Antalya, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with Mehmed Salih as Rüsûmât Müdürlüğü kolcusu in Antalya, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1900/01. Alongside, the lists for 1900/01 give a second post, in a post with no place named as a customs official (Rüsumat Memuru).
Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1886/87 to a peak of 350 in 1891/92, in Antalya, when 39 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 15 years the salaries add up to 53,400 kuruş, 73 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.
