Life and register readings

The life of MEHMED SIDKI EFEND İ began in Muğla. Work began in Marmaris in 1880/81 (AH 1298), on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1880/81, places MEHMED SIDKI İ in Marmaris as Rüsûm-u Sitte Memuru, where the entries run to 1886/87. The lists have no entry for 1887 to 1890. Alongside, the lists for 1881 to 1883 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Vergi Kâtibi. Next came Marmaris from 1886 to 1891. For 1891 to 1893 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1890 to 1894, the lists also place MEHMED SIDKI İ in Fethiye (Meğri) as Tahrirat Kâtibi. The lists have no entry for 1894 to 1906. Alongside, the lists for 1893 to 1908 give a second post, in Rhodes as Belediye Kâtibi ve Sandık Emini. Alongside, the lists for 1907/08 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Belediye Kâtibi (Nakil). The last post was in Rhodes again in 1909/10.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1880/81 to a peak of 800 in 1909/10, in Rhodes, when 61 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.
