Life and register readings

The life of Mehmed Necib (Draga) Bey began in Mitrovica (Mitroviça) in 1868/69 (AH 1285). Mehmed Necib (Draga) began work in 1893/94, at about 25, on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1893/94, names Mehmed Necib (Draga) as Valilik maiyet memuru; kaymakamlık stajı, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1897/98 give a second post, in Kratovo as a district governor (Kaymakam). The lists give Infisal for 1895/96 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 500 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to a peak of 1,125 in 1897/98, as Kaymakam in Kratovo, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 37,500 kuruş, 1.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
