Life and register readings

MUHAMMET SALİH EFENDİ was born in Kirkuk (Kerkük) in 1867/68 (AH 1284); the father was a clerk (katip). Work began in Kirkuk in 1892/93, at about 25, on a first salary of 171 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1892/93, to 1903/04, every annual entry places MUHAMMET SALİH in the same post, hapishane kâtibi, in Kirkuk, the birthplace.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 171 kuruş a month in 1892/93, in Kirkuk, when 13 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 11 years pay ended where it began, at 171 kuruş. In all, 11 years of salary come to 22,572 kuruş, 42 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1903/04.
