  A recent investigation shows that a local gauge string with a
phenomenological energy momentum tensor, as prescribed by Vilenkin, is
inconsistent in Brans-Dicke theory. In this work it has been shown that such a
string is consistent in a more general scalar tensor theory where $\omega$ is
function of the scalar field.A set of solutions of full nonlinear Einstein's
equations for interior region of such a string are presented.
