Life and register readings

MEHMED FA İK EFEND İ was born in Muğla; the father's occupation was "Telgraf çavuşu". Work began in Yalova in 1902/03 (AH 1320), on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1902/03, places MEHMED FA İK İ in Yalova as Telgraf ve posta muhaberat muavini, where the entries run to 1905/06. Alongside, the lists for 1905/06 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Telgraf muhabere memuru. At the same time, from 1905/06, the lists also place MEHMED FA İK İ in Kırklareli as Telgraf ve posta merkezleri muhabere memuru.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1902/03 to 250 in 1905/06, the peak, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 9,000 kuruş, 45 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1905/06.
