Life and register readings
The life of Mehmet Sami Efendi began in Akhisar in 1886/87 (AH 1304). Mehmet Sami began work in 1903/04, at about 16, on a first salary of 62.5 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1903/04, names Mehmet Sami as Nüfus memur muavinliği vekili, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1904 to 1908 give a second post, in Soma as Reji İdaresi memuru (İstifa). The last post was in Turgutlu (Kasaba) in 1909/10.
Pay rose from 62.5 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to a peak of 250 in 1909/10, in Turgutlu, when 15 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, six years of salary come to 9,510 kuruş, 28 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
