Life and register readings

The life of Mehmet Rasim Efendi began in Giresun; the father's occupation was "Keşap Rüsûmât memuru". Mehmet Rasim began work in 1885/86 (AH 1303). The annual lists begin in 1885/86, with Mehmet Rasim as Keşap Rüsûmât memuru (mülâzemetle) and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1890 to 1895 give a second post, in Giresun as Giresun Rüsûmât Müdüriyeti memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1894/95 give a second post, in a post with no place named as açıkta (İnfisal). Alongside, the lists for 1894/95 give a second post, in Tosya as Düyûn-ı Umumiye memuru.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to a peak of 300 in 1894/95, in Tosya, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over three years the salaries add up to 7,800 kuruş, 54 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1894/95.
