Life and register readings

Mehmed Halid Efendi② was born in Didymoteicho (Dimetoka) in 1863/64 (AH 1280); the father's occupation was "Dimetoka ağnam memuru". Work began in Didymoteicho in 1879/80, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1879/80, with Mehmed Halid Efendi② as Vergi Kalemi stajyeri in Didymoteicho, the birthplace. Next came Kırklareli from 1886 to 1888. The lists have no entry for 1883 to 1885. Alongside, the lists for 1887/88 give a second post, in Vize as Muvakkat ağnam memuru. Mehmed Halid Efendi② then moved to Didymoteicho from 1889 to 1892. For 1899 to 1903 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1898 to 1904 give a second post, in Uzunköprü as Düyun-ı Umumiye İdaresi memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1903/04 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tapu kâtibi. The annual lists then follow Mehmed Halid Efendi② to Edirne in 1904/05. The lists have no entry for 1905 to 1907. Alongside, the lists for 1911/12 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tapu kâtibi. The lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1882/83 and 1890 to 1892; Infisal for 1885/86, 1887/88 and 1891/92; Azil (dismissal) for 1904/05 instead of a title.

The salary went from 270 kuruş a month in 1880/81 to 500 in 1911/12, the peak, when one in four paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1911/12.
