Life and register readings
Selami Bey was born in Istanbul in 1878/79 (AH 1296); the father's occupation was "İkinci Fırka-i Hümayun mirlivası". The first salary was 400 kuruş a month. The annual lists begin in 1897/98, with Selami as Ebniye-i Seniyye Anbarı İdare Kalemi kâtibi and no place named. In place of a title the lists give Infisal for 1909/10.
The salary went from 450 kuruş a month in 1897/98 to 750 in 1902/03, the peak, when three in four paid officials earned less. In all, 13 years of salary come to 104,400 kuruş, 1.6 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.
