Life and register readings

Mehmed Fuad Efendi was born in Bosna in 1875/76 (AH 1292), into the İslam community. At about 20, in 1895/96, Mehmed Fuad began work in Istanbul, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1895/96, places Mehmed Fuad in Istanbul as Polis neferi, where the entries run to 1898/99. Alongside, the lists for 1898/99 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Üçüncü sınıf polis komiseri.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1895/96 to 350 in 1896/97, the peak, as Polis Cavusu in Istanbul, when 36 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1898/99.
