Life and register readings

The life of Mustafa Raşid Efendi began in Burdur in 1837/38 (AH 1253). At about 34, in 1871/72, Mustafa Raşid began work in Ayvalık. The first annual entry, for 1871/72, places Mustafa Raşid in Ayvalık as Ayvalık Rüsumat Müdürlüğü stajyeri, where the entries run to 1883/84. The lists have no entry for 1884 to 1887. Alongside, the lists for 1883/84 give a second post, in Dikili as Dikili Rüsumat kâtibi. Alongside, the lists for 1887/88 give a second post, in Ayvalık as Ayvalık Rüsumat Müdürlüğü kolcusu.

Pay rose from 160 kuruş a month in 1877/78 to a peak of 250 in 1882/83, in Ayvalık, when one in five paid officials earned less. Over nine years the salaries add up to 19,320 kuruş, 43 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1887/88.
