Life and register readings

The life of MUSA KAZIM EFENDĠ began in Antalya in 1884/85 (AH 1302); the father's occupation was "Elmalı kazası Eytam müdürü". The first annual entry, for 1902/03, names MUSA KAZIM EFENDĠ as Nüfus kâtibi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1904 to 1908. Alongside, the lists for 1903/04 give a second post, in Elmalı as Mal sandık emini. In 1908/09 the lists place MUSA KAZIM EFENDĠ in Antalya, the birthplace.

The salary went from 125 kuruş a month in 1902/03 to 300 in 1908/09, the peak, in Antalya, when one in three paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 8,340 kuruş, 57 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
