Life and register readings

MEHMED SADIK EFENDĠ was born in Antalya in 1876/77 (AH 1293); the father's occupation was "Bakkal". Work began in 1886/87, at about 11. Few began so young; fewer than 2 per cent of the 5,664 officials whose age at first work is known started at 11 or younger. The annual lists begin in 1886/87, with MEHMED SADIK EFENDĠ as Teke sancağı meclis-i idare kalemi mülazımı and no place named. For 1887 to 1892 the lists have no entry. At the same time, from 1895/96, the lists also place MEHMED SADIK EFENDĠ in Antalya as Düyun-ı Umumiye müdüriyeti mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1895 to 1897 give a second post, in Alanya as Tuz ambarı memuru.

The salary went from 120 kuruş a month in 1892/93 to 400 in 1898/99, the peak, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, seven years of salary come to 20,280 kuruş, 59 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1898/99.
