Lally reported that Reynolds "took a stumbling block out of the path of the committee's plan by stating that he believed that the Boston City ordinances relating to fencing, guarding, and fire protection of parking lots would not apply." Thus car owners may be able to save money, Lally added...

If saving eggs meant that the farmers would save grain by cutting back their flocks, who would eat the additional poultry they sent to market?

Most of the Bongo section is just middle-grade Disney, not notably inspired. And once Mickey & friends get involved with Willie, the whole picture peters out and becomes as oddly off-balance and inconsequential as its title...
