Life and register readings

Mehmet Habib Efendi was born in Kütahya in 1863/64 (AH 1280). The personnel record dates the first work in Kütahya to 1896/97, after the first annual entry, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1887/88, with Mehmet Habib as Askerlik and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1893 to 1896. Next came a return to Kütahya, the birthplace, from 1896 to 1901. Alongside, the lists for 1900/01 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Suvari Tahsildari.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1896/97 to 300 in 1900/01, the peak, as Suvari Tahsildari, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over five years the salaries add up to 11,400 kuruş, 46 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.
