Life and register readings

Mehmed İzzet Efendi was born in Antakya in 1886/87 (AH 1304). Work began in Antakya in 1907/08, at about 20, on a first salary of 60 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1907/08, with Mehmed İzzet in the Ziraat Bankası Sandık Emaneti in Antakya, the birthplace. Alongside, the lists for 1908/09 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Ziraat Bankası Sandığı Muhasebe Kitabeti Refakati.

Pay rose from 60 kuruş a month in 1907/08 to a peak of 200 in 1908/09, when 12 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
