Life and register readings

Mustafa Hilmi Efendi was born in Taşköprü in 1865/66 (AH 1282); the father's occupation was "Taşköprü Debbağhane Mahallesi imamı". Work began in 1894/95, at about 29. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Mustafa Hilmi as Ziraat Bankası şubesi mülazımı and no place named. At the same time, from 1895 to 1898, the lists also place Mustafa Hilmi in Kırşehir as Ziraat Bankası şubesi memur muavini. Alongside, the lists for 1897 to 1900 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Ziraat Bankası muhasebe kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1899 to 1902 give a second post, in Malkara as Ziraat Bankası kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1901 to 1910 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil. The lists give Infisal for 1895/96 and 1899/1900 instead of a title.

The salary went from 500 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to 2,000 in 1909/10, the peak, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 15 years the salaries add up to 169,200 kuruş, 2.2 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
