Life and register readings

Süleyman Efendi was born in Antalya; the father's occupation was "Nahiye zabıta müdürü". Work began in Konya in 1906/07 (AH 1324), on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1906/07, with Süleyman as Orman Ser-Müfettişliği üçüncü kâtibi in Konya. Alongside, the lists for 1910/11 give a second post, in Alanya as Orman kâtibi.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1906/07 to a peak of 400 in 1908/09, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 21,600 kuruş, 74 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1910/11.
