Life and register readings

Mehmet Muhlis Efendi was born in Sivas in 1879/80 (AH 1297); the father's occupation was "Sivas Vilayeti muhasebe kalemi mümeyyizi". Work began in 1894/95, at about 15. The first annual entry, for 1894/95, places Mehmet Muhlis in Sivas, the birthplace, as Muhasebe kalemi stajyeri. For 1895 to 1900 the lists have no entry. The last post was in Zile in 1902/03. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1902/03.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to a peak of 500 in 1901/02, when 54 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1902/03.
