Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Şakir Efendi began in Pristina (Priştine) in 1871/72 (AH 1288). Work began in 1883/84, at about 13. Few began so young; fewer than 5 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 13 or younger. The first annual entry, for 1883/84, names Mehmed Şakir as Vilayet İdare Meclisi Kalemi stajyeri, with no place. At the same time, from 1888/89, the lists also place Mehmed Şakir in Pristina as Sancak Muhasebe Kalemiyle bağlantılı maaş tahsisi (Maaş kaydı). In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1888/89.
Pay rose from 60 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to a peak of 400 in 1888/89, in Pristina, when 45 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 7,920 kuruş, 33 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1888/89.
