Life and register readings
Osman Asım Bey was born in Ohrid (Ohri). The first salary was 0 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1872/73 (AH 1289), with Osman Asım as a district governor (Kaymakam) and no place named. Next came Florina and Štip (İştip) from 1877 to 1879. The last entry, for 1880/81, names Osman Asım as Kaymakam, with no place.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 2,750 kuruş a month in 1872/73, as Kaymakam, when 91 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 1,250 kuruş. Over six years the salaries add up to 103,800 kuruş, 3.3 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1880/81.
