Life and register readings

Süleyman Efendi③ was born in Pristina (Priştine) in 1869/70 (AH 1286). At about 15, in 1883/84, Süleyman Efendi③ began work. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with Süleyman Efendi③ as Kosova Vilayeti İdare Meclisi Kalemi stajyeri and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1889/90 give a second post, in Pristina as Priştine Sancağı İdare Meclisi kâtibi.

The salary went from 130 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to 400 in 1889/90, the peak, in Pristina, when 46 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 13,380 kuruş, 46 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1889/90.
