Work began in Durrës (Dıraç) in 1894/95, at about 16, on a first salary of 0 kuruş. From the first annual entry, for 1894/95, to 1907/08, every annual entry places Mehmed Asım in the same post, Nüfus Kalemi mülazımı, in Durrës.
The salary went from 0 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to 250 in 1906/07, the peak, in Durrës, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 140 kuruş. In all, 13 years of salary come to 21,480 kuruş, 33 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1907/08.
