Life and register readings
Mehmed Celal Efendi began work in 1903/04 (AH 1321), on a first salary of 1,575 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1903/04, with Mehmed Celal as a district governor (Kaymakam) and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1905/06 give a second post, in Preševo as Kaymakam. Mehmed Celal then moved to Osmaniye and Kočani (Koçana) from 1906 to 1910. Alongside, the lists for 1909 to 1911 give a second post, in Gjilan as Kaymakam. Alongside, the lists for 1910/11 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaymakam. Alongside, the lists for 1910 to 1912 give a second post, in Vize as Kaymakam. Alongside, the lists for 1911/12 give a second post, in Kumanovo as Kaymakam. Alongside, the lists for 1911 to 1913 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Kaymakam. Six places on two continents in all, a number reached by fewer than 8 per cent of the 6,605 officials with a place of service.
Pay rose from 1,575 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to a peak of 2,000 in 1909/10, as Kaymakam in Kočani, when 86 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 128,400 kuruş, 3 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1912/13.
