Life and register readings

MAHMUT FAHRİ EFENDİ was born in Altunköprü in 1882/83 (AH 1300); the father's occupation was "Bağdat Düyun-ı Umumiye müdürü". At about 16, in 1899/1900, MAHMUT FAHRİ began work in Karbala (Kerbela). The first annual entry, for 1899/1900, places MAHMUT FAHRİ in Karbala as muhasebe kalemi mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1900 to 1902 give a second post, in Baghdad as Düyun-ı Umumiye mülazımı. Alongside, the lists for 1901 to 1903 give a second post, in Kirkuk as Düyun-ı Umumiye müdüriyeti üçüncü katibi. Alongside, the lists for 1902 to 1904 give a second post, in Musayyib as Düyun-ı Umumiye memuru. In place of a title the lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1903/04.

The salary went from 30 kuruş a month in 1899/1900 to 300 in 1902/03, the peak, in Musayyib, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 9,960 kuruş, 51 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1903/04.
