Life and register readings

Mehmet Nuri Efendi was born in Erzincan, into the İslam community. Work began in 1893/94 (AH 1311), on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1893/94, names Mehmet Nuri as banka tahsildarı, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1894 to 1896. Mehmet Nuri then moved back to Erzincan, the birthplace, from 1896 to 1900. For 1900 to 1903 the lists have no entry. The last entries, from 1903 to 1907, name Mehmet Nuri as vergi katibi, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1904 to 1906.

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1893/94 to a peak of 500 in 1906/07, when 51 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 17,520 kuruş, 58 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1906/07.
