Covariant forms are given to a gauge theory of massive tensor field. This isaccomplished by introducing another auxiliary field of scalar type to thesystem composed of a symmetric tensor field and an auxiliary field of vectortype. The situation is compared to the case of the theory in which a tensorfield describes a scalar ghost as well as an ordinary massive tensor. In thiscase only an auxiliary vector field is needed to give covariant expressions forthe gauge theory.Comment: 14 pages, uses ptptex.sty for LaTe
