Life and register readings

Hüseyin Nazım Efendi was born in Sivas in 1878/79 (AH 1296). At about 23, in 1902/03, Hüseyin Nazım began work in Sivas, on a first salary of 200 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1902/03, with Hüseyin Nazım as Polis memuru in Sivas, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1907/08. Alongside, the lists for 1907 to 1909 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kadro harici (İnfisal).

Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1902/03 to a peak of 250 in 1908/09, when one in four paid officials earned less. In all, seven years of salary come to 17,400 kuruş, 49 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
