Life and register readings

The life of MUSTAFA EFŞAH BEY began in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1867/68 (AH 1284); the father's occupation was "Kavaye Kazası Mal Müdürlüğü mukayyidi". Work began in Shkodër in 1890/91, at about 23, on a first salary of 60 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1890/91, places MUSTAFA EFŞAH in Shkodër, the birthplace, as Vilayet Muhasebe Kalemi evrak mukayyidi, where the entries run to 1892/93. Alongside, the lists for 1892 to 1897 give a second post, in Shëngjin as Rüsûmat manifesto ve anbar memuru. Next came Tirana (Tiran) from 1897 to 1900. For 1900 to 1902 the lists have no entry. The last entries, from 1902 to 1904, name MUSTAFA EFŞAH as Rüsûmat Müdürlüğü anbar memuru, with no place.

The salary went from 60 kuruş a month in 1890/91 to 300 in 1892/93, the peak, in Shëngjin, when 27 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 12 years the salaries add up to 32,640 kuruş, 56 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1903/04.
