Life and register readings
Born in Pristina (Priştine) in 1879/80 (AH 1297), Mehmed Vamık Efendi was the child of a clerk (katip). At about 18, in 1898/99, Mehmed Vamık began work, on a first salary of 50 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1898/99, with Mehmed Vamık as Telgraf ve Posta Nezareti Muhasebe Kalemi Varidat Kitabeti refakati and no place named. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1905 give a second post, in Istanbul as Dersaadet Telgraf Merkezi Sevk-i Mekatib Odası memuru. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1904/05 instead of a title.
The salary went from 50 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to 125 in 1902/03, the peak, in Istanbul, when 7 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over seven years the salaries add up to 8,700 kuruş, 25 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1904/05.
