Life and register readings

The life of Ömer Fevzi Efendi began in Bosna in 1869/70 (AH 1286). Ömer Fevzi began work in Thessaloniki (Selanik) in 1886/87, at about 17, on a first salary of 100 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1888/89, with Ömer Fevzi as Rüsûmat Müdürlüğü İcmal Mübeyyizi vekili in Thessaloniki. Ömer Fevzi then moved to Kavala from 1889 to 1895. Alongside, the lists for 1894/95 give a second post, in Thasos as Rüsûmat İdaresi memuru.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1888/89 to a peak of 400 in 1894/95, in Thasos, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 24,000 kuruş, 71 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1894/95.
