Life and register readings

Mustafa Maruf Bey was born in Diyarbakır in 1880/81 (AH 1298) into the İslam community; the father was a medrese teacher (müderris). Work began in 1906/07, at about 25, on a first salary of 500 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1906/07, names Mustafa Maruf as Maiyet Memuru, with no place. At the same time, from 1907/08, the lists also place Mustafa Maruf in Sandıklı as Kaymakam Vekili. The last post was in Bolvadin in 1911.

Pay rose from 500 kuruş a month in 1906/07 to a peak of 2,000 in 1911, as a district governor (Kaymakam) in Bolvadin, when 81 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 43,500 kuruş, 2.2 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1911.
