Life and register readings

Mehmet Raşid Bey was born in Söke in 1846/47 (AH 1263). Work began in Izmir (İzmir) in 1862/63, at about 16. The first annual entry, for 1862/63, places Mehmet Raşid in Izmir as İzmir Eyalet Meclisi Tahrirat Kalemi mülazımı, where the entries run to 1878/79. At the same time, from 1878 to 1880, the lists also place Mehmet Raşid in Aydın as Bidayet Mahkemesi Ceza Dairesi aza mülazımı.

Pay rose from 600 kuruş a month in 1868/69 to a peak of 1,100 in 1873/74, in Izmir, when four in five paid officials earned less. Over ten years pay ended below where it began, 500 kuruş against 600. In all, ten years of salary come to 96,000 kuruş, 1.9 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1879/80.
