Life and register readings

İsa Rıfat Efendi was born in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1877/78 (AH 1294); the father's occupation was "Bakkal". At about 18, in 1895/96, İsa Rıfat began work in Shkodër. From the first annual entry, for 1895/96, to 1908/09, every annual entry places İsa Rıfat in the same post, Vilayet muhasebe kalemi mülazımı, in Shkodër, the birthplace.

Pay rose from 40 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to a peak of 140 in 1908/09, in Shkodër, when 7 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over ten years the salaries add up to 6,720 kuruş, 13 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
