Life and register readings
The life of Mehmet Şükrü Efendi began in Sivas in 1866/67 (AH 1283). Mehmet Şükrü began work in Sivas in 1881/82, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1881/82, names Mehmet Şükrü as stajyer, İstintak dairesi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1882 to 1894. Mehmet Şükrü then moved to Tokat in 1894/95. The last entries, from 1896 to 1909, name Mehmet Şükrü as mukavelat muharriri, with no place. For 1897 to 1906 the lists have no entry.
Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to a peak of 1,000 in 1907/08, when 77 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 35,700 kuruş, 1.7 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.
