Life and register readings
Mehmet Rıza Efendi was born in Elbistan in 1879/80 (AH 1297). At about 22, in 1902/03, Mehmet Rıza began work in Aleppo (Halep). The annual lists begin in 1902/03, with Mehmet Rıza as Halep Vilayeti Telgrafhanesi mülazımı in Aleppo. Next came Drama from 1903 to 1905. The lists have no entry for 1905 to 1908. Alongside, the lists for 1904/05 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Açığa çıkarılma. The last post was in Bitola (Manastır) in 1908/09. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1904/05.
Pay rose from 200 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to a peak of 400 in 1908/09, in Bitola, when 42 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 9,600 kuruş, 66 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1908/09.
