Life and register readings

Mustafa NeĢet Efendi was born in Antakya in 1874/75 (AH 1291). The first annual entry, for 1895/96, names Mustafa NeĢet as Belediye Sandık Emaneti vekili, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1900 to 1902. The last posts were in Harem in 1902/03 and Şanlıurfa in 1903/04 and Rumkale in 1905/06.

Pay rose from 75 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to a peak of 400 in 1905/06, in Rumkale, when 41 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, eight years of salary come to 24,000 kuruş, 60 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.
