after he refused to appoint as a clerk a person favored by Senate President William M. Bulger (D-South Boston). In the past three years similar attempts to restore Daher's budget and pay were routinely voted down. "This budget says that Judge Daher will continue to be punished by not being given the same salary as other administrative judges. This is political action.

It's time this House acted and stood tall." said Switzler, whose amendments are usually rejected. Daher said yesterday he was watching the budget debate when the amendment was passed.

Political observers expect the candidates on both sides to be financially broke when the smoke clears after the state's Sept. 18 primary.

However, there is a "good chance" that the National Republican Senate Campaign Committee, an affiliate of the Republican National Committee, will send the Republican nominee a check for $354,631 to finance the general election campaign, said spokesman Ceci Cole. A spokesman for the Democratic counterpart says it is "completely unclear" whether the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee (DSCC) will be able to do the same for the Democratic candidate in Massachusetts. "We had not budgeted for Massachusetts when we did our cash flow plans because Paul Tsongas was sitting in that seat and we would not be in the business of providing any or much funding to safe incumbents." said Audrey Shep-pard. campaign services director for the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee In Washington. "We are now trying to figure out how to raise the money" for the Bay State candidate.

Sheppard said the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee hopes to raise some money with the help of the state's most prominent Democratic officials, including Gov. Michael S. Dukakis and US Senators Edward M. Kennedy and Paul Tsongas. who's retiring.

Preliminary discussions have been held, but no decisions made as to how this will be done. "Clearly that is a seat we must hold and we are bringing that to people's attention all across the country," Sheppard said. Massachusetts Democrats are concerned that Washington will take the Massachusetts Senate seat for granted because of the Democratic advantage in voter registration. "The governor feels very strongly that he wants a progressive Democrat to represent us in the Senate ahd work with us here. We are willing to go to great lengths to help In any way we can." said John Sasso, Dukakis' top political aide.

"I would hope the DSCC would understand that the race up here is going to be a tough one, and put the appropriate resources in here The Democratic National Committee and its sister organizations, the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, By Laurence Collins and Andrew Blake Globe Staff The Massachusetts House, after nearly six weeks of deliberation, wound up debate on a state budget of more than $8 billion last night and agreed to vote on the measure at noon today. The House is expected to give the budget, grown by more than $125 million in floor amendments, routine enactment before sending it to the Senate. The debate, the longest in recent memory, has also been called the most open by legislators, who attributed the length and openess to televison coverage, rules changes and the House leadership struggle. The House budget process also has come under criticism for scores of costly amendments, many sponsored by the Republican minority. Among the GOP initiatives were a local aid plan that would give an additional $31.6 million to cities and towns and one to allow homeowners to deduct up to $2500 a year in mortgage interest on their state income tax returns.

Another Republican amendment, which indicated the ease with which dissidents were able to carry their case against the leadership, would restore to the Boston Housing Court four administrative positions and would return the salary of Judge E.

Bedford receives up to a million gallons of water a day from the MDC, but concern over increased demand in the summer months prompted officials to ask for the 1.5-million-gallon increase. MDC commissioners are expected to consider Bedford's request soon. ever seen.

The best dramatization -v of democracy I've ever seen. Just phenomenal." he said. Switzler told the House that "the judge of this has been punished by the Senate president and the Senate Ways and Means Committee because he didn't fill a political job. He's a symbol of some- body standing up for what's right." Switzler also said, tongue in cheek, that the House should be congratulated for cutting back its budget spending spree, which. had been increasing the budget at the rate of $1 million an hour, to a -i mere $804,000 an hour.

By Jerry Ackerman Globe Staff The Dukakis administration sent to the Legislature yesterday a package of amendments to the state's hazardous-waste "Super-fund" program, including repeal of a controversial lien process that some claimed could stifle economic growth in Massachusetts. The proposed changes appeared to be facing a fight, though, as a coalition of environmental groups 'quickly declared opposition to sections that it said offer "tremendous windfalls" to unscrupulous developers. In a letter to Gov. Michael S. Dukakis, the coalition contended that loopholes in the proposals would "bolster attempts of financial and industrial interests to escape responsibility for their fair share of the.

hazardous waste problem." Organizations signing the letter included the politically conserva tive Massachusetts Audubon Society ahd the Conservation Law Foundation as well as the more activist Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group (MassPIRG) and Massachusetts Fair Share. Spokesmen for the Massachusetts Bankers Assn. and the Associated Industries of Massachusetts, on the other hand, said the proposed amendments resulted from five months of negotiations overseen by Dukakis' economic development office that involved environmentalists as well as bankers, lawyers and businessmen. Because the draft resulted from "consensus policy making," said William A. McCarthy, general counsel for Associated Industries "I am not sure that we would agree with any changes in them in the Legislature." The proposed changes resulted from an outcry last fall that developers in the state would not be able to obtain mortgages because of a "super lien" power written into state hazardous-waste laws that set up a $25 million fund to pay for cleanup of abandoned toxic waste sites ineligible for federal help.

The controversial clause originally allowed the state to place a lien on property where the state had to perform the cleanup, regardless of whether the owner was involved with the waste problem or even knew the waste was there. Paul Foley, Massachusetts Bankers Assn. president, last night said one result was that "out-of-state investors were looking askance at Massachusetts." Foley and others said, however, that they had no direct knowledge of any land transaction that did not go through because of the "super lien" clause. Under pressure from the banking industry, including the Federal Home Loan Mortgage the Dukakis administration and the Legislature last December agreed to lift the lien provision from residential property. The proposed amendments filed yesterday would remove the threat of liens from industrial and commercial property, said Alan S.

Johnson, undersecretary of environmental affairs. At the same time they would let the state Department of Environmental Quality Engineering order that property buyers be given information about past disposal practices. The amendments also would create further exemptions from liability for persons found to be innocent parties. Alewife-Rte. 2 road plan water from MDC Burlington officials, also anticipating summer shortages because of well contamination, are considering asking for emergency water supplies from the MDC, according to William Brutsch.

director of the MDC's water division. Brutsch said such requests for emergency water supplies from communities near the MDC system are not unusual. He said Bedford Is linked to the MDC system through Lexington and that if Burlington's request is granted, it. too, would be supplied through Lexington. State Transportation Secretary Frederick P.

Salvucci yesterday announced a $2.7 million roadway construction plan to help ease commuter traffic problems expected -next year when a new MBTA station and its 2000-car garage open near the intersection of Alewife Brook Parkway and Rte. 2. The plan is a short-term solution to the daily rush-hour traffic Jams that occur along Rte. 2 as it enters the converging borders of Arlington, Cambridge and Belmont near Alewife Brook. The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 1985.

Salvucci said a $40 million federally funded plan intended to make long-term improvements to traffic congestion in the Alewife area is under way but will not be completed before 1990 because of federal design and environmental considerations. The plan involves the construction of a ramp that would lead inbound motorists from Rte. 2 directly into the new Alewife MBTA station, resulting in a projected 25 percent improvement in the morning rush-hour traffic flow, he said. A second roadway would take westbound motorists from the station garage under Rte. 2, and then loop back to intersect the Dewey Almy Rotary, improving the evening traffic flow by an estimated 50 percent.

The rotary would be eliminated under the plan, and the intersection equipped with new traf-v fie lights. 1 J.
