Life and register readings
Mehmet Kemal Efendi was born in Bosna; the father was a governor of a sub-province (mutasarrıf). The first salary was 300 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1875/76 (AH 1292), with Mehmet Kemal as Muhasebe kalemi memuru and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1890 to 1895. At the same time, from 1889 to 1896, the lists also place Mehmet Kemal in Tiflis as Evkaf muhasebecisi. For 1896 to 1899 the lists have no entry. The annual lists then follow Mehmet Kemal to Diyarbakır from 1906 to 1909. The lists have no entry for 1901 to 1906. Alongside, the lists for 1908/09 give a second post, in Erzurum as Evkaf muhasebecisi. Alongside, the lists for 1908/09 give a second post, in Sivas as Evkaf müdürü. The last post was in Sivas again in 1911.
Pay rose from 390 kuruş a month in 1875/76 to a peak of 2,000 in 1908/09, in Sivas, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. That salary was paid for a single year, and the next list gives 750 kuruş. In all, 22 years of salary come to 165,600 kuruş, 1.5 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1911.
