Life and register readings
Mehmed Asım Efendi was born in Antakya in 1867/68 (AH 1284). Work began in Antakya in 1894/95, at about 27, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1894/95, to 1897/98, every annual entry places Mehmed Asım in the same post, Nüfus ve Belediye Sandık Emini, in Antakya, the birthplace. The lists give Infisal for 1897/98 instead of a title.
Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to a peak of 250 in 1896/97, in Antakya, when 18 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 10,800 kuruş, 54 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1897/98.
