Life and register readings
The life of Mehmed Ali Efendi began in Pristina (Priştine) in 1866/67 (AH 1283); the father's occupation was "Telgraf çavuşu". Mehmed Ali began work in 1881/82, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1881/82, with Mehmed Ali as Kosova Vilayeti Mektupçu Kalemi stajyeri and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1894 to 1898. Alongside, the lists for 1903/04 give a second post, in Botevgrad as Mal Muduru, with a rise to Mal Muduru.
Pay rose from 50 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to a peak of 540 in 1903/04, as Mal Muduru in Botevgrad, when 62 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 18 years the salaries add up to 55,920 kuruş, 64 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1903/04.
